AP in-house Olympics poet Fred Lief turns his lyrical lens upon Zara Phillips:

___

Zara Phillips, of great renown,

In jodhpurs, helmet, ballroom gown,

Hailed in the countryside and town,

In summer's green and autumn's brown,

We raise a glass and throw one down

For you, just 14th from the crown.
