THE MILKY WAY OLYMPICS

The Milky Way Olympics are incredible and fun,

from Ursa Minor slalom to the "Race Around the Sun"

from rowing on Orion, to the marathon on Mars,

it draws the best galactic athletes, all the biggest stars.

 

Yes, every million light years all the planets meet to see,

who is the species best in sports, throughout the galaxy,

electric invitations on the ether waves are sent,

the torch is lit by Halley's Comet, what a grand event!

 

The high jump's held on Jupiter, which makes it hard, of course,

the gravity holds people down with such magnetic force,

the record's only two-feet six, and that was by a cheat,

it turned out that the Martian hid two rockets on his feet!

 

In Cyborg Acrobatics all the robots somersault,

it's awful when vibration causes one to lose a bolt,

one second they're up in the air, the next they come down, splat -

with bits of automaton scattered all across the mat!

 

On Raster 5 they hold the shooting, well out of the way,

it needs to be, as most events involve a laser ray!

when all the heats are going on, it really is a sight,

from space it looks just like a old-time firecracker night!

 

It gets so inter-planetary at the team hotels,

the Martians practice water skills by swimming in canals,

they almost led a boycott, just in time they changed the rules,

and now the water's red in all Olympic swimming pools!

 

Mercurians like discus, as it's shaped just like their head,

the pommel horses, every one, are North Uranus bred,

Centaurians are great at hurdles, with their little wings,

and Saturn's team, as you might guess, is excellent on Rings!

 

The medals are Plutonium, with meteoric chain,

and everybody wins one, so no planet can complain,

it doesn't matter who's in front, or what the final scores,

'cause everybody wins, that way avoiding Stellar wars!
