When asked why he’s looking so glum,
a young man replied to his chum:
“ I was poking around
and guess what I found,
a thermometer stuck up my bum!
I’ve no notion of how it got there;
but it glows when the weather is fair.
I’ve been told by a friend
that I just have to bend;
and the sun shines from out of – guess where?”

congratulations on this humourous and slightly naughty limmies and the golden cup they brought along ...
it's good to laugh ... cures illness and avoids receiving thermometers in our mouth, ear or butt ...

Congratulations on the gold! (check out the bronze )

It isn't as bad as you fear.
Your friend's story doesn't end here.
Before he could sob,
He was given a job
As Elton John's new chandelier! -

Thank you ever so much for my Gold
My friend's doing well I am told.
On his knees every night,
He's a great shining light
But his bum's rather blue from the cold. :-)
