Poleminous is BACK!!

Poleminous is back, after quite a long time away,
Many stories to be retold, over time he will say,
London 2012 was the most recent adventure,
Blissful time, with sport not the euro at the centre.

Team GB gave a magnificent and inspiring display,
The prima diving of Euro2012 blown clean away,
Preceded by Sir Wiggo's historic Victoire in Le Tour,
The courage and purity of sport always to the fore.

Alas now the Premier League is again upon us,
An overpaid and underwhelming moneyed rush,
English soccer long since corrupted by cash,
Many billions spent, home grown talent, not a flash.

Poleminous hopes images of the Opening Ceremony,
Preserves the purity of sport a bit longer in the memory,
Fair play and honour were the champions in array,
Such a change from the usual empty cheaters display.

For 17 happy days celebrity and sham were demoted,
Honesty, integrity, and dedication were plainly floated,
Whether any lessons will last beyond the summer bliss,
That will be the real Gold Medal if we achieve it or miss.
