Oi, please come and compose your Olympics haikus here (we may rustle up a prize for the best)

[HellenicGamesMumsnet]

Hello.

Having rofled our way through your Bradley-Wiggins-inspired poetry thread, we thought we'd start the Official Mumsnet Olympics Haiku Thread.

Please do come and post your best haikus about the Games, as and when inspiration strikes.

We may well have a prize or two for the best offerings....

Zara wasn't first
but got two kisses from mum
for coming second

Mary King is old
but fab at 51 years
to medal silver

[Disclaimer - 'medal' is not a verb]

Bloody hell - they said
We'd get Olympic bonus;
Just got empty town...

Tom Daley Dived - boing
Black chimneys spewed & light bounced
Across the rings, ouch.

You are Team GB
But your Gold is a little
AU T, b 4 August.

Pah - I take the last one back.

You are Team GB
But your Gold is a little
AU late U Kno.

Women's pair rowing
With whom do our hopes claim hold?
Lets go for a gold!!

We won! Our first Gold!
Well done, an excellent race.
Skill, power and pace.

This is my 9yr Olds offering :)

Olympic Gold Shine?
On Us Brits, Tom Daley NO!!
Hope Lost, Get a Grip

Oh, Boris, Boris
Bond you are not, Leave it to
007 Craig

Oh Bradley Wiggins
or soon to be Lord Wiggins
you made GB proud

Decorate a Wiggins,
He IS a True Premier Man
Man Garden of Gold??

Riding bikes gets gold
Maybe we should ride bikes in
All of our events?

I am so unfit
Makes me look a lazy cow
I will start to swim

I am inspired
to race home from work and sit
and watch sports tv

Vicky Pendleton
what happened this afternoon?
You are a muppet

Cav on the sofa
Looking cool, calm and yummy
I want to squeeze you

Tumble, cycle, box
Shoot and run, swim and row, but
Boris zipwires best

run run run run run
quick! faster and faster! go!
chase the wind. run! go!

we all watch and watch
you compete and do your best
we all clap clap clap

Splash, sprint, score, cycle,
Olympics two thousand twelve
Shines like medals bright

Gold, silver, bronze discs
Prized rewards for those who strive
To keep dreams alive

Strength, grace, style, pace, grit
roar, cheer, clap, some win, some lose
all brave as heroes

(guess who's procrastinating about the washing up this morning??? :))

Aussie gymnastics
Balance beam, bars, floor and vault,
Lauren Mitchell, gold!

Cant get tickets for love nor money
But through tv we live your dream
Team GB making us proud
