Race Me If You Dare

I have a weapon as you can see
Leave me alone and let me be

Going fast is my greatest need
I was designed for high speed 

So far ahead on the final lap 
I can afford to take a nap

So race me if you dare
I'm not a tortoise I'm a hare

Good for you! Running is a great high! Not that I do it ~lol~ but my best friend is a health crazed amazing person and I hear about it all the time. Thanks for your sweet comment, that meant so much to me! Just so you know I will be off the site for about a week. Hope to read more of your poetry when I get back. Take care! Love, Shar

The rhyme is perfect and adds to the flow of this while the contents actually made me smile, remembering the story and now seeing how it pertains to life. Very well written. Michael
