Take down all the bunting
The Olympic Games are done
Nothing left to aim for
No distances to run
Faster, higher, stronger
Legends you have made
A lasting golden memory
That hopefully won't fade
Congratulations heroes
You've really made your mark
Inspired a generation
Smashed it out of the park
So now close all the stadia
Last one out, turn off the lights
Lock and bolt the gates
Leave us with your delights
The closing ceremony
You showed what we can do
I doubt the Rio games
Will be a patch on you
So sadly, it's all over
Stand so tall with pride
What a piece of work
What a fantastic ride
And now the realisation
Just what you have done
Will sink in this morning
With the rising of the sun
There is one tiny problem
I stayed up far too late
I had to watch it all
Now I don't feel so great
Tired and pretty sleepy
Slept thru alarm clocks call
Back to works reality
But I don't mind at all
Yes it is all over
With the dousing of the flames
I can safely say I witnessed
The Greatest Ever Games

Olympic Fever!
I've got a funny feeling, It makes me warm inside. When I switch on the telly my heart just fills with pride. I still cannot believe it, how great it all has been.
Brits Getting There Sporty Shoes On!
Us Brits are doing well so far, Some gold, few silvers and bronze. But that's not what's surprising me, Ever since our lad wiggen won, More bikes have been seen round Britain, with people on them.
Let's Do This!

Well done Bolt and Blake for running an incredible race and winning gold and silver for Jamaica. They made Jamaican independence day especially great.

@leelee101 I thoroughly enjoyed it! Freddie Mercury and John Lennon resurrected and back from the dead for one night of magnificence!!! Tremendous!! I can't begin to imagine how Rio will cope though? 🇬🇧😃👍☕☕☕☕
@Weirdwolf I'm sure they'll do well mate. The carnival, the colours, sounds, rhythms (ooo those drums!) and of course the lovely laydeez... Beach volleyball, anyone? 😂😂😂👍😃
@leelee101 I'm sure it will be great for the reasons you mention, I just think their transport system, and very dangerous hang culture could be a massive problem, mind you, they have plenty if money to spend. 😂😂😂 Beach Volleyball!! Looking forward to that one next time around, and tickets will probably be cheaper for Rio, and easier to get hold of!! Lol
@Weirdwolf we fretted over ours though didn't we? Nah they'll be fine mate. Even gangs and drug cartels will take time out for the beach volleyball! 😂😂😂👍☕😃
