50 Yard Dash

50 Yard Dash
David J Walker 

Some days life does seem 
Like a marathon 

Dragging on and on
		And on….

Having to go
	Beyond  the

Limits of your endurance 
At best 

Some sort of test
Of what we can take 

Some do and some don’t make
It to the tape set somewhere 

By someone in 
A sloppy foggy future

But now when I look back to rehash
The past 50 years seem more 

Like a 50-yard dash 
That I have been running to

Set a record
