Стихи о спорте на английском языке

 A race, a race to Moscow,

 Before the close of day!

 A race, a race to Moscow,

 A long, long way!

 First comes a butterfly a-riding on a frog,

 Next comes a water rat a-floating on a log;

 A caterpillar on the fence, a hopper in the hay -

 Who'll get to Moscow before the close of day?

Ballooning  (Paul Curtis)

 Of all the pastimes

 Which defy all logic

 Hot air ballooning

 Must be the most fantastic

 You take off

 With no controls to ponder

 At the mercy of the wind

 Into the great blue yonder

 Floating up and away

 Heart fit to blow a gasket

 Gripping the hand rail

 And stood in a picnic basket

 A Bunsen burner flames

 Under a piece of fabric

 Hot air ballooning

 Must be the most fantastic

Basketball's My Favorite Sport  (Kenn Nesbitt)

 Basketball's my favorite sport.

 I dribble up and down the court.

 The ball goes bouncing off my toes

 and beans the teacher on the nose.

 He stumbles back and grabs his nose

 and hits the wall and down he goes.

 The other players stop and stare.

 They've never heard the teacher swear.

 With no one playing anymore.

 I grab the ball. I shoot. I score.

 I love this game! It's so much fun.

 The teacher cried, but, hey - we won.

 Лучший спорт - совершать поступки без лишних слов.

In sports and journeys men are known.
