9th Grade Track

[I'm finally catching up with some of my favorite blogs and discovered a prompt at Mad Kane's Humor Blog to write a Limerick or Haiku on things I wasn't good at. I immediately thought back to running the 800-yard event in 9th grade. It wasn't pretty.]


In running I had but one pace -
that was slow, even when in a race.
But I did win one prize
when I once moved my thighs
to just barely come in at fifth place.

Jade - LOL is more appropriate, 'cause otherwise it was just sad. I came in last place, but there were only 5 of us and they had ribbons down to 5th so I actually was rewarded for coming in last. ha!
