The Olympic torch was born on the night
That God said 'Let There Be Light'
He then engineered a manuever so weird
That it caused the whole sky to go white -
He oxygenated the hydrogen!
- and thus did water ensue,
Setting the atmospheric strage
- from which to create me and you.
After he gave us the gift of life,
He employed a most novel device -
He invented "degrees," so the water would freeze,
And He created snow and ice!
Quite Willy-Nilly he made us all silly
And gave us a frightful yen
T'ward the frostiest sorts of bone chilling sports
- then exclaimed "Let The Games Begin."
