About the Poem

A poem full of lots of lovely alliteration and with a strong message about being who you want to be, rather than always having to follow the crowd. Is it really a sports poem? I think so, as you can win an Olympic medal for ice skating, even if not for cake decorating.

Macho Pursuits

Sliding, slipping, gliding, tripping
If ice skating's too exhilarating
Try cake icing, it's quite exciting
Slapping, slopping, frosted topping.
