Olympic Sport

as almost everyone
can figure
a flying fickle
finger of fate
is unfortunate
for most recipients

there is a growing
number who figure
it can become
a desired honor
able to be rejiggered
through simple rejection

having practiced hoop
jumping fictions
with a pinch
of delusion
a lost fact
they survive rocky terrain

with a dash
of panache
nothing is a step
too far to explain
conclusion leaping
is now an Olympic sport
