Torch

Weird fact: The tradition of the Olympic torch relay was started by the Nazis in 1936.

Weirder fact: The Chinese have hired Leni Riefenstahl to film it again.

Why not? She did such a good job in '36. And she's only 150 years old!

While Hitler sat upon his porch
He had a thought about a torch
And decided that nice fiery flames
Would be a nice start to the Olympic Games.

21 days to go.

Oops! used the word "nice" twice.

Let's replace the first "nice" with "big"...it will read better that way.

You're going to be a wreck by the end of poetry month. Fortunately for you, you can drink to relieve the pressure.

...at the same time, I don't blog on weekends...next Tuesday, I have an offsite course...and a dentist appointment on the 30th...so, it shouldn't be too bad...just try and keep your postings down to a minimum per day.
