THE CALGARY OLYMPICS

OLYMPIANS ARE TRANSCENDING STARDOM,
THEY ARE SUN-LIKE IN THEIR QUALITY.
UNPARALLELED THEY SHINE ON SNOW AND ICE,
FOR THE FAN , THEY ARE A TREAT TO SEE.
THE ESSENCE OF ATHLETIC COMPETITION,
IS EPITOMIZED BY THE OLYMPIC GOLD.
TO BE A MEDAL WINNER OF ANY KIND,
IS A ZENITH TO HAVE AND HOLD.
SKIING AND SKATING AND SLEDDING,
ARE GLORIFIED BY ATHLETES FROM EVERYWHERE.
POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES FADE AWAY,
IT'S PERSONAL TO WIN A MEDAL'S SHARE.
TO PEAK WHEN IT'S ON THE LINE,
IS THE DREAM OF EACH ATHLETIC STAR.
TO BE AN AUGUST OLYMPIAN,
BRINGS THE BEST FROM NEAR AND FAR.
CALGARIANS TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR WORLD CLASS,
CALGARY ALWAYS GAVE MORE INSTEAD OF LESS.
THE HOSPITALITY PUT ON BY CALGARY,
HAS MADE THE OLYMPIANS A TOTAL SUCCESS.
