Double Standards from The Topical Poet on Vimeo.
My topical poem today is the hypocritical
attitude of the British press when it comes to drugs in sport. It’s interesting
how British athletes always seem to be innocent until proven guilty and have a
good reason to take a drug or miss a test, whereas foreigners are always guilty
and are dirty rotten cheats.
Double Standards.
No one likes a drugs cheat,
and when they’re caught we all boo.
We want to see fair play in sport,
and cheating will never do.
The Russians are always at it,
we suspect the Americans’re too.
Are the French the Chinese, the Germans,
all taking some special brew?
But not here in good old Blighty,
it’s something we’d never do.
It’s not to enhance performance old chap,
the poor man’s got the flu.
