Nadia comaneci: the queen of gymnasts
There has been no one to match her
Her grace is like that of a Greek sculpture
At the age of thirteen in Munich did she
Gave a new meaning to gymnastic rapture.
Legends are born, blessed by God
Here they are only trained and honed
Their natural finesse glows all around
As their dazzling artistry does confound
And makes the people watch in awe
As they perform miracles none ever saw,
Nadia Comaneci of Romania
Was one such wonder sent down by God
Her grace and style in gymnastics
Still ranks her as the perfect one.
Nadia is a treat for the sport fan's eyes
Just like Ali the boxer does she surprise
Even to this day when her feats are shown
On TV...and she becomes the talk of the town.
