In AN OKAPI’S ODE TO THE WINTER OLYMPIC SITES, an okapi recites an ode. But please don’t say oh dear! For it’s actually out of sight. Have you ever wondered about when and where the Winter Olympics have taken place? How many of the sites can you name? Not many? Not many can! But don’t lower your sights! In fact, get ready to raise your sights, for help is in sight! Being no run of the mill rhyme-writing ruminant, the okapi, in a poem that’s hard to topi, sets his sights on putting all 22 sites, from Chamonix to Sochi, in one whale of a nifty nutshell. It’s quite a feat. But will it be love at first sight? Will the okapi’s ode get the gold in the end? Well, you’ll be the judge of that!
