The Sailboat Race

The sailboats all line up
For their annual sailing 
           race
This race always take
            place
In the summer season
At the beach called Big Lake
A race like this last one week
Whether rain or shine
This race will continue
All sailboats must return
             to start
For the ending of the race
This race gathers a crowd
When coming to shore
The first to reach it
Will be the winner
