Rhyming Triplets on the Sochi Olympic Dilemma


There is a logical school of thought
Calling for Sochi to be boycott
Or moved to a country not fraught

With heinous violations of human rights,
Like Vancouver’s scenic Olympic sites;
Kicking off countless diplomatic dogfights

About which nations are deserving
And sporting relations worth preserving
Through moral lapses most unnerving.

Can America and Britain take the moral high ground,
As unmanned drones continue to pound?
Reasons to boycott can always be found.

Still, I’m not going to be the guy
Arguing with Stephen Fry
And George Takei.
