Pit Stop

**See Author's Notes**
In my car, up to par, I'll go far. I'm the star! First on pole; on a roll. Flag's my goal. Engines start, feel my heart Off the chart. Got green light--hold on tight! Foot to floor, hear that roar, got much more. So hardcore! On first turn, see me burn, Look and learn! Turbo's burst, now I'm first Such a thirst for the win. My wheels spin! On the straight I don't abate. Must be fate; I'm doing great! On my tail, but he'll fail Beside the rail. In the ess, with finesse, Passed him; Yes! Back in lead with such speed! Whoa, my tach, gone past black. Heard a whack! Gonna smack that hard wall, big and tall. What a fall down from grace; lost my place In this race - need the pit. Oh Shit! |
