This was awesome, it filled me with joy, with glee!
I can’t wait to share it with friends and family!
As a resident wordsmith, with a degree to my name,
I can say with a smile, that this puts me to shame
For it reads perfectly, no errors or flaws
It deserves nothing more than cheers and applause!
This acurately captures the universal pre-race experience. Great piece.
