Best Races Poems

On the starting grid for the zimmer frame races
Ready to put themselves through their paces
No cheating girls -  don’t go tying shoelaces
Or there will be embarrassed  red faces

Lined up on the starting grid
Prize is a cuppa and a quid

ON YOUR MARKS..
GET SET
GO SLOWWWWWWWWWW
But...

At the firefly races,
where the viewing is good:
the magical places
near the edge of the wood
and wide open spaces.

At the firefly races,
adrenaline flowing;
they're fearless, courageous.
Their engines are glowing;
excitement: contagious.

At the firefly races,
their course is uncertain.
For near half an hour,
they're fast and they're flirtin',
displaying their power.

At the...

Horses stand waiting
Some face the wrong way
Jockey's with colours
Astride are they

They await the starter
Who runs up the tape
Equine line up
Await their fate

Sixteen fences
Two circuits ahead
Once your over
The fence you have read

The crowd cheers
As they are on their way
Notorious fences
Between them and their day

Jumping Jim just loved his sack,
  Two feet in he'd jump up and back,
   He went in sack races every time
 He and his sack had a chance to shine,
Just a shame it's not an event on the track....

While all parked in their separate places
Couples were watching the Submarine Races
Trying hard not to show their faces
The chicks with all of their graces
Put their tops back on - their Chantilly Laces!...

I love the clean air, breathe the clean air, 
I hunt the clean air in the race,
I want that distance between me and the field, 
When they are all up for the chase,

Around the hairpin, through the chicane, 
Stuck in the smallest tight fight in...

"Camptown Races sing this song, Do Dah! Do Dah!"
( sung incessantly by a certain, unique rooster.)

Henry Hawke: ( Sung to Holly Jolly Christmas:)
" I'll be there and back by sunset.
  There's a chicken there for me!
  Mom and Dad will be proud, you...

There's an excercycle race on
Down at the local gymn
One guy's clearly out in front
But others closing in
All are pedalling frantically
They like to win these races
Each one with a determined look
As sweat pours down their faces

There's an exercycle race on
Down at the local Gym
This one's for...

“Jesus loves the little children 
All the children of the world:
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in God’s sight…
Jesus loves the little children of the world.”

Our kids’ Sunday School chorus 
reverberates with this simple message:
love of God for and to all He created
anchoring...

All The World Races Away , While I Pause

I will write yet again this sweet night,
cows need milking , the barn cleaning.
Sunny morn but this place is a sore sight,
critters need feeding, fence is leaning!

I will hold my thoughts until sunset,
a chore that allows me...

One night way out by the Old Beach
I started out being a leech.
While watching the Submarine Races
I almost made it to all of her bases
Till she moved back just out of my reach.

She cried ,"Tomorrow you won't respect me!"
I pleaded, "Why do you now reject...

THE STORY BEHIND DIFFERENT RACES by Richie Kharis 

Many times they act like they are holy sanctimonious 
And every day they pray, but still they can not tell the change 
Another day comes hate, for them, love is an easy exchange 
Yet far away behind...

AN UGLY VISITOR, CORONA VIRUS

We have an ugly visitor;
Corona Virus is his name.
He's prowling like a predator
With an aim to devour or maim.

He disregards every convention.
Schools, airlines,... he shuts down;
Doctors are in his line of elimination
As he locks down town after town!

Countries are wearied from...
