Olympic flame poem, what do you think?

Olympic Flame in Cirencester

A sea of sullen faces

the street festooned with bunting

the people wait for William

moaning groaning grunting.

Somewhere the rumour started

and spread both far and wide

Prince William will carry Olympic flame,

with Catherine by his side

The Police in great profusion

added weight to this cruel lie

Even the Police helicopter

was up there in the sky.

The outriders on their Police bikes

the Coca Cola truck.

The cheer leaders from Santander

It was all too much

And finally when the ballyhoo was done

and old chap came

jogging gamely he came along

carrying the Olympic flame.

The people looked dejected

and barely raised a cheer

"We thought to see a celebrity

not some bloke from round here."

Now when you think about it

the fortune spent on it

What was wrong with box of Swan Vestas

To get Olympic flame lit?

(Alternate non PC version)

What was wrong with a *** lighter

To get that damned flame lit.”
