Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Olympic Schtick

The London Olympic games got
Opening up with song and dance.
Her Majesty and James Bond brought
Tongue in cheek pomp and circumstance.
If only that theme had prevailed,
But no, the gov powers that be
Wanted the nanny state detailed
In glory for the world to see,
Especially state health care
Where nanny, Mary Poppins, pops
In because illness should not dare
Disobey her and the pain stops.

Not due to health care, but instead,
The pain stops because you are dead.
