Watching men figure skate,
'What is a quad-toe-triple-toe combo,'
And open the debate,
What really should count as an achievement?
If I gave gold medals,
For being the fastest up a ladder,
Would countries still spend millions of sheckles?
Would people wave flags and paint their faces?
I think the answer's 'yes'm',
Not for the excellence of the challenge,
But nationalism,
But I'm unfair,
The athletes are elite,
And their achievenments trump national pride,
Their commitment, victory or defeat.
