Adverbs on your Mark!

Nouns get ready!

Verbs and prepositions get set!

There's the green light and they're off!

All words accelerating at an astonishing speed!

the crowd goes wild 

at the roar of the sound

of accelerating words. 

Nouns and adverbs and verbs

advancing with prepositions 

following closely behind.

Hold on to your hats, 

and fasten your seat belts, folks,

this is going to be one long sentence, 

a wild race to the finished line.

Three words pull away from the pack 

and the clear leader

is Jim, followed closely by 

House in 2nd place,

they are moving at an amazing speed

now moving up into 3rd is Buys an

Buys an, Buys an, accelerating making a

bold move on House, on a hair pin turn,

Unbelievable!!!

cuts in front of House, 

House has to slam

on the brakes to avoid 

a collision of words...

House is obviously infuriated 

with Buys an,

as he interjected between Jim, and House

in such a reckless manner.

And so we have our top 3 leaders

Jim in 1st place,

Buys an, in 2nd place 

and following closely 

waiting to make his move is House

in 3rd place.

Wow! We can see 

this sentence coming together

as we start the 3rd lap...

what spectacular action folks, 

who knows how this sentence 

will end at the finished line!!

Now look who appears on the scene!

it's Better, Better now moves

into 4th place, behind House

House sees him coming 

looking over his shoulder

anticipating his move

but looks like House 

has some trouble keeping the pace 

as Better, accelerates and 

makes his move

and has no problem

in passing House.

Looks like House, is having 

some kind of mechanical trouble

but is holding on.

So we have our leaders:

Jim is in 1st, Buys an, is in 2nd

Better, has now moved into 3rd

with House trailing in 4th position.

After 4 laps the sentence is taking shape

with Jim securing his lead, 

and setting a blisteringly fast pace 

with no rival to usurp

his position.

Now look who appears in 5th place 

challenging House, it's Even,

Even is moving at an incredible speed

Even passes House with ease 

and now looks to challenge

Better, Better, better watch out!

Even, pulls even with Better, 

but Better...

thinks he's better, 

and won't quit.

Even has even more power 

and surpasses 

even better than Better.

Wow what a race! 

As words jockey for position,

there is a bitter rivalry between

Even, and Better, however this time

Even has gained the upper hand.

So our leader is still Jim in 1st

Buys an, is comfortably in 2nd,

Even, moves into 3rd, 

and Better slides back into 4th

with House following in 5th place,

but who knows if House can hold on
 
as we now see smoke billowing out

from the back of House.

Who knows how long House will last

or even if it will make it to the finished line.

Now look who appears as we enter the 5th lap!

it's Than, and Than is closely followed by Bob.

Than and Bob accelerating,

pursuing the pack,

and catching up to the leaders 

as we head to the final stretch

heading to the finished line.

No one can catch Jim 

as his noun is just too powerful 

on this day!

And there you have it folks 

the checkered flag 

and the winners in order are

1. Jim
2. Buys an
3. Even
4. Better
5. House
6. Than
7. Bob

What a competition! And the race goes on!
What will Bob do now!
