The Plural of Luge (Luges or Lugi?)
Today starts the Olympics
The winter kind
No gymnastics
Or equestrian rides
Some questions left open
Like who won the opening ceremonies?
Or what's the angle of the ski course sloping?
Can Samaranch still see?
View the brightly colored clothing
Of the volunteers and figure skaters
And the speed skating outfits that prevent breathing
The hockey goalie should get his helmet from Darth Vader
Some events should be included
Like snow tubing
And 8 person reverse bobsled
And of course snowman building
The eskimos are left ignored
They probably have the most winter skills
Most adapted to ice living and fjords
Can fly across the frigid landscape without taking a spill
Anyway, here's a tribute to those
Left out of the Olympics shadow
Or those who return with no medals to show
Santa still loves you, he told me so.
(If you believe that, I'll tell you another one)

I so totally second the snowman building!
And let's not forget the catching of snowflakes on the tongue, and the garbage-bin-lid slide off!
I would be able to enter the snowman building....I make a mean snowman. :) And snow angels? No contest. However, snow angles I'm not good at...too mathematical.
I love the winter o's (insert Canadian joke here)...and I can't wait until the Canadian hockey teams get gold again! Go Canada! :)
Hah, the eskimos are overqualified!
I wonder when the Winter Olympics will be held in Antarctica...
jlb: yeah garbage slide off for sure
oilf: womens hockey is basically a 2 horse race usa and canada, mens is a little more open
kmm: true...you need to suggest that to the IOC...BTW great post on your blog KMM about your personal alpine ordeal
