Olympics In India? Poem by Dr John Celes

Can India host an Olympics?
–Not in the next decade;
A lot of work has to be made;
This isn’t a bag of tricks!

A lot of stadia must be built;
Tremendous planning, this involves;
’round labor, money, this revolves;
’Tis not walking on stilt!

The country must be united;
Perseverance must be our aim;
There is no thing called ‘Lucky Dame’!
Hearts must be ignited.

Corruption must be thing of past;
Sports-persons must be truly trained;
The lazy persons must be caned;
We ought to prepare fast.

There are no short-cuts to work hard;
We ought to put our minds and hearts;
All leaders, bureaucrats have parts;
We must spring like leopard!

Patriotism must be prime;
All states must well participate;
And things must be done before date;
The constraint is just time!

Ban ‘strikes’ forever, from now on;
Each moment is so precious;
There is no place for cheats, liars;
Olympic dress, all don!

A billion persons, India has;
Merit-based talents are the keys;
All influencing must too cease,
Like journeying to far Mars!

Unite, we must and not divide;
Why fight over a plot of land?
All have a role in any band;
Brotherly love is pride!

And learn from China, India must;
They struggled hard to win the gold,
With advantages manifold,
And Olympiad thirst!

‘Where there’s a will, there is a way! ’
India can be a Super-pow’r!
Industriousness must be cover;
And soon ’twill be D-Day!
