Ballad of Anton Ono

After reading the last Korean BS about Ono on KRD's site I was struck with a song idea. To the tune of The Green Berets

The Ballad of Anton Ono

Fighting skaters on the ice
Fearless men who gold does entice
Men who lean, grab, jostle, and sway
Their goal to stop Anton Ono today

Silver medals just will not do
These are men with something to prove
1500 metres they'll race today
But there is only one gold to take away

Trained to skate, and stop their foe
They must stop Anton and win the show
Men who jostle, grab, and kvetch
Then point and swear Anton is a wretch

Silver skates upon their feet
They can only whine if they are beat
Of all the men who will skate today
The Koreans don't want Anton to get away

Back at home a people grits their teeth
With lots of cursing and disbelief
They pretend Anton cheated today
And print lies and half truths without delay

Put silver skates on our sons feet
THey are gentlemen and can compete
One of them will be the man is all they say
Who will make Anton cry with dismay
