2118 - Torch of the gods

A lovely day with Josie, that started
With her rowing badly with her mother
I almost had to leave her, but after
A few minutes, and me brushing her hair
Josie came with me, off to Manchester
Via Altrincham (on the tram), just to see
The Olympic torch procession on the
Main drag, Deansgate. Workmates Tracey, Julie
Were there with their kids and Tracey's hubby
Several buses and lots of police motored
By, the last thing we saw, the torchbearer
Himself, gone in a flash of fire, holy
Greek flame from Zeus that sadly has sputtered
Out a few times in wet British weather
