Bird Nest Or Bed Pan?

That "bird nest" in China looks more like a bed pan to me.

 

 
I’ve watch the Olympics for many an hour
And I’m amazed at the grace and power
Of many athletes from all around the world
As they jumped, did handstands, and ran, and they whirled.
 
There’s something I thought I heard that they said
As I watched beside my wife’s hospital bed
They called the arena a giant bird nest
Where they held many an exciting contest.
 
It may have been the hospital setting
That constantly caused me to keep forgetting
That I’m really not a giant bird nest fan
It looked to me more like a giant bed pan.

Your humor is delightful. I am sorry to hear that your wife is in the hospital. By now I trust she's home. I will keep you both in prayer and ask for His continued love to surround you and give you strength.

God bless you. Kathy

lol. Hysterical. I've met too many bedpans in my life, but I'm sure I can manage to meet some more. Great write about the Olympics. Inspirational in a lot of ways. Hope your wife is better soon. Liz

A very cute poem, and it seems to me the Olympics are more like a circus.

Larry, I haven't thought of it as a bed pan, but it is a good comparison. Hope your wife is ok.

Cheers,
Dan
