Olympic Torch

 

By: Allan Benjamin

 

The big day will be November fourth

When the Olympic torch comes north

It will come up to Old Crow

Where the torch will glow

Snowshoeing is my traditional sport

I will carry the torch from the airport

I will run with my snowshoes

Because that’s how I cruise

Trey is a student from the school

An’to carry the torch will be so cool

Trey will get to run with the flame

So he will have a famous name

To carry the torch will be Dougie’s dream

An’ he’ll mush it with his dog team

My mom will get to carry the torch

All the way up to the school porch

My mom was a Canadian ski champ

Finally she’ll get to carry the Olympic lamp

The Vuntut Gwitch’in First Nation

Will put on an Olympic celebration

At the airport the Canadian Rangers will salute

Then the jet will fly to the next torch route

The forth of November

Will be a day to remember
