Proposal to the IOC
If our average instructor
in the gym should prove a creep
or a domineering bleep,
there's a thousand other games
testing spryness, speed, and strength,
showing off our very best,
that our so-called grown-ups deem
childish, not worth their esteem.
Conkers, yo-yos, worms on strings,
tag, or tug-of-war: no gimmicks
are required for our olympics
to be something every parent
rightly-minded should not fear
kids with the right stuff to win.
((apparently tug-of-war WAS an olympic sport at one point xD))
