Neck and Neck

In competition, neck and neck They held each other's pace. The crowd was rooting silently The whole entire race. The both of them so well-prepared, They'd practiced and they'd trained, So every possibility Their brains had entertained. The final minutes soon approached And I was thrilled to see Both Vanya* and Gokul* were winners Of the Spelling Bee! *Vanya Shivashankar and Gokul Venkatachalam were declared co-winners of the 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee last night.
