Unit 6
[Listen and Write]
At last year’s Jungle Olympics,
The ants were completely outclassed.
In fact, from an entry of sixty-two teams,
The ants came their usual last.
They didn’t win one single medal.
Not that that is a surprise.
The reason was no for lack of trying
But more of their unfortunate size.
While the cheetahs won the most of the sprinting
And the hippos won putting the shot,
The ants tried sprinting but couldn’t
And tried to putt but could not.
It was sad for the ants because they are sloggers;
They turned out for every event
With their shorts and bright orange T-shirts,
Their athletes were proud that they were sent.
Each year they turned up regardless.
They were popular in the parade.
The other teams whistled and cheered them
Aware of the journey they’d made. |
