Going for Gold

 

I’m pingy, I’m springy, I flip through the air

I’m spinny, I’m twirly, I haven’t a care.

I’m jumpy and bouncy and very gymnastic

I’m stretchy and bendy and almost elastic!

 

I’m balanced and practised, I know how to pose

I’m professional – trained from my head to my toes.

I somersault, backflip and cartwheel at will

I headstand and handstand and frontflip until…

 

my mum calls me in, as it’s getting quite late.

My dreams of Olympics will just have to wait.
