A gift from across mysterious seas,
Symbolising success from sporting champions,
Becoming more meaningful as the years go by.
Almost as shiny as an athlete's forehead,
After earning this sign of success.

The shape of a heptagon with smooth, rounded edges,
A reflective silver, almost like a mirror,
Smooth, delicate and cold to touch,
Like a shiny beetle with a hard, protective coat
As heavy as pure gold.

Let us remember,
The ones who represent our country,
From droughts, deserts, forests and ice
To compete for us and go for gold.
