The Relay Race

The relay race starts with a bang as rain comes pouring down. The starting runner, Spring, flies by in her bright flower crown. Baton gets passed to Summer, who so glowingly appears right at the very moment that the massive rain cloud clears. The crowd all loves this golden runner, who too soon is gone. The sun shines brightly on her as she passes the baton. The third one, Autumn, plods through leaves and nearly takes a Fall, then passes off to Winter, who proceeds at such a crawl - for she showed up in sweatpants, knowing snow had been forecast. Each spectator cheers loudly when the finish line is passed. But when that race is over, then a new one's soon begun with all the fans excited to see how THAT race is run!
