Beijing Olympics, the world is watching

And nothing could be finer than being

In China in the morning smog, choking

Not too much joking going on, hoping

We’ll get the odd gold or two in Beijing

The smoking gun, the foggy smoggy ring

Of starting pistol, net monitoring

And not just in the hammer and sickling

But free speech and human rights restricting

That said, maybe it’s a bit nitpicking

To pick on Peking, peeking and seeking

To preach, when democracy’s weakening

In the west, which stayed best by bullying

The rest; now the great test is approaching
