Get,Set and Begone
The enthusiasm gushed forth,
eyes shone sharp bright,
nostrils shook as if electrified,
the chest heaved like seas,
and mind got really eager,
this is where the young had to get set and go,
so he ran headlong faster than he thought was possible,
the pace doubled with first bravado,
and the second placed him equivalent to alexander,
he grabbed the first milestone very firm,
and began the run to the next,
how many milestones he reached and got,
that nobody knows for certain,
somewhere the road began getting complicated,
and he slowed on all counts like hell,
now thoughts ran faster than legs,
and each day mind knocked how much more of the run is left,
it was not long that he sat,
and got counted for old age benefits.
