Driver of Victory

The term driver of victory
came to me unbidden, unexplored
I tossed it around in my dendrite chambers
My muse caught it and ran with it

She is amusing, but she has great ideas too
She decided Victory was a race car, 
We daringly painted her in our favorite colors.
Hot pink, canary yellow, and outrageous orange. 

Victory was beautiful, gloriously bright.
She showed up all of the other race cars 
They were dull in their silly primary colors 
With wraps from well-known sponsors 

We stood beside Victory in our silky race car jackets
painted in hot pink, canary yellow and outrageous orange.
The other cars cried, they were so intimidated.
Let the race begin!
