The Racetrack

The Racetrack 

   A momentous and thrilling place 
   where people lose their pace 
   looking through the columns of the racing form.

  They seem to be cheerful 
  when they hear of their horse name Fearful 
  getting into position with Takeoff.

  The time has come and the bell has rung
  and off with a speeding start
  around on the first lap and straight for home 
  The people are shouting for Fearful to come home!
