Sense Sonnet - Chiller

At Rio Olympics

Waste from Rio de Janeiro
Drops into Guanabara Bay.
Some '16 Olympians know
Contaminants float in their way.
Those who sail and row to compete
Are exposed to varieties
Of dumped pollution and excrete
Around in dangerous degrees.
No extra points are given for
Potential health hazards untold.
All kinds of illnesses to score,
As athletes do go for the gold.

How big and bad - pollution tale?
For sure, on an Olympic scale.
