I can’t think of a more mental wreck of a nation than Brazil.
The smells that waft from a late morning Sunday breeze in Rio must be the smell you’d imagine coming from Satan’s breath.

The Bay of All Delights

Sculls glide dead even
with skulls in Guanabara
bacteria win

[T-Bone Texan]

Phelps may bring home gold
And certainly a bag of pot
And of course, some AIDS

[T-Bone Texan]

Wow, that was high quality.

The allusion, the synonym; I just can’t compete with that.

I’m gonna just focus on the poop in the swimmer’s mouths.

A haiku:

Dead dogs and feces
Those Rio smells stay with me
Burned into my nose

[T-Bone Texan]

A haiku:

Law of gravity:
Favela poop runs downhill
and into Phelps' mouth

[T-Bone Texan]

Smell of death, decay
Does it come from Satan's mouth?
More like his anus

[T-Bone Texan]

Favela poop runs,
Mingles with richer neighbors
Hey look - I see corn!

[Romulus]

Yep. Games now rescheduled after Christmas. Gotta have that Greek fire.

AIDS Syphilis clap
Norovirus e-coli
Rio memories

[T-Bone Texan]

What Phelps doesn't know:
Actual adversary
Is bacteria

[NorthMountain]

Is there Gold Medal
For running to the latrine
While running from the butt?

[T-Bone Texan]

Came for the beaches, shows
Stayed for the AIDS and crime
Got Zika in butt

[NorthMountain]

I’m unworthy ...

[T-Bone Texan]

Their bacteria:
Explosive diarrhea
Is distance event

[NorthMountain]

Olympic Showcase
Display your country’s finest:
Sewage and disease

[NorthMountain]

Greetings from Rio
So many wonderful things
I can’t list them all

Projectile vomit
Explosive diarrhea
Be glad you’re not here

[T-Bone Texan]

Sewage and disease?
Please don't forget to mention
AIDS and Zika too

[T-Bone Texan]

Stabbed, dies in gutter
Oddly, cleanest part of town
Cops stand by, want bribe
