An august Challenge indeed
A tough one I must concede
(Inspiring or worthy of respect)
A veritable Chimera in retrospect!
EMGOLDENED the word means so much
Inspiration from King Midas' touch
Olympic spirit bottled in one
Distilled from a race well run
Heart pumping, muscles stinging
For some the golden bell’s ringing..
As Supreme effort yields its dues
The rest are singing the medal free BLUES
Praise to THE VICTOR, my fave 60s comic,
Like my ditty it was succinct never laconic
With strips of Alf Tupper, long-distance runner
In black and white but covered in Colour
GCP Aug 24
Alf Tupper a true free spirit and boyhood hero of mine !! I wonder what the young people of today would think of him?
