It’s time for us all to bewail
This worrying, heartbreaking tale
The result today comes
For the big test in sums
And twenty percent of them fail.

Eric Clapton and a 28-pound Salmon caught in Iceland
Its every old rock hero’s wish
To capture a very big fish
There’s only one flaw
An Icelandic law
Let the salmon escape Eric’s dish.

A fellow called Akihito
Who’s eighty two years old you know
Is the number one man
In all of Japan
But he’s hinted he may have to go.

In Rio have we any hope
Of beating the Russians? Well nope
We’ve the passion and heat
It takes to compete
But so far we’ve only one dope.
