The sun rose in the alpine sky

The Alternative Olympics had caught Elf's eye

His team made ready for the new day

Prizes would be given for ornately painted sleighs


When the whistle blew the artists began

Oddly E. Nough painted portrait of his Gran

Short Fred wrote Mabel all over his sled

Whilst Sykes used pastel colours of green blue and red


Sarah was disqualified for her sprinkles on ice cream

She'd stolen Gus's digger and created quite a scene

The judge was astounded she would cheat in such a way

By the time they dug him out it was the middle of next day


The ski lift race was tied by each of the competitors

As the time to the top was the same for everyone

Troll won the snowman making, it's face like an alligator

He said he'd tried to make it in the shape of a swan


Elf snowball juggled

He let fly a lots of tricks

Every time the Baron tried the snow fell all to bits

The governess won gold with her fir tree caber throwing

But she declined the swimming after putting just a toe in


Gus's yodelaying was the best of the bunch

But Olly Day tried too hard and caused an avalanche

Babbie went pot holing, came out with cave man's fibula

Sent it as a present to her dear friend Sweet Enigma


Alternative Olympics were a great success

Founded many years ago by dear olde Putty Face
