Their All Jolly Good Sports
Batsmen stand at their crease
the aim is to get them out
fielders dive about for catches
when the ball has been given a clout.
Boxers step boldly into the ring
they try and knock their opponent out
as they move and bob around
the crowd get excited and shout.
The dart player at the Oche
throws his darts at the board
while a Fencer thrusts his weapon
trying to win points with his sword.
The Formula One driver
has to have nerves of steel
as he tears around the circuit
sat behind his steering wheel.
Golfers with their putters
driving the ball towards the hole
as the football teams star striker
scores another winning goal.
Athletes like to win gold medals
throwing Javelins or jumping high
but adrenalin junkies climb mountains
or jump out of aeroplanes in the sky.
Wrestlers grapple against each other
using chops, kicks, and the headlock,
while Cyclists pedal around the track
racing hard against the clock.
They all want to be the best
and become a sporting celebrity
while the rest of us are contented
to watch them whilst lying on the settee!
