Observations of Olympic Jewelry

(Limericks...for Sunday Scribblings), whose prompt was Observations

and for

Mad Kane, the Limerick Junkie, whose prompt was jewelry.

I'm going to take that as Olympic necklaces (for obvious reasons)


Men's Gymnastics

They're doing remarkable things
On the horse, on the bars, on the rings
Their leads are commanding
They stick every landing
They've balanced their Yangs and their Yings






Shelly-Ann Fraser

The 100 is no piece of cake-a
You cannot afford a mistake-a
Just a cool running leap
for a clean medal sweep
It's Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica!

Michael Phelps

His perfect, elongated torso
has been featured as never before, so
When his swimming suit slips
Down toward his hips
The length of it seems even more so.

Hey, there were a lot of pictures that better illustrated the point, but I just didn't want to post them on my blog.

However, I'm not trying to detract from his incredible feat--eight gold medals. Way to go, Michael!
