The field was filled
With runners galore
Each an elegant gazelle,
A buck, a leopard, a cheetah-
Midair!
He the one at the rear
Flailing his hands and legs
Midair!
Desperately willing his limbs to move
Faster, together, further!
Turned- he the leader
Smiling, soaking the glory-
When he spotted the one at the rear!
Sprinted!
Back to the field, to the rear!
C’mon my friend
Let’s do it together
Despair not –
Together we shall finish
What we started!
Speed is thrilling!
Speed is smashing!
Speed is killing!
But not everything!
