snow on his head
fire in his bottom
hot potato in his mouth
thorns in his feet
preparing for marathon
with teenagers...

You see them stretching
bending each leg back so far
boundaries tested
overextending limits
~ Then they run a marathon...

Morning; I awake
with stiffness in my
lank legs.
Yesterdays long run
has taken its toll
on my
ungrateful, ageing
body....

Banters from foes, sauntered to bleed
Ran barefooted, marathon booted
Ethiopia on his feet, milestone in feat....

On the sea on the skies on the lands

Marathon Man
I heard a story that is not so pure
about a town woman with no demure,
they said she likes dirty fun
I told them I now must run...
Tomorrow, I'll worry about a cure!...

Winning the lottery,
Wishing for a good place,
Wrestling for a trophy,
Walking the marathon,
Working for a sad man,
Watching our enemies.
Were all of these worth it?...

I ran the 10K marathon.
At once I knew I’d chosen wrong.
My heart and lungs on fire,
I thought I might expire.
Next time I’ll safely watch from home.

Miracle juice
From mashed miracle fruits
A marathon of miracles
Let loose
Yes I'm an 
Amazing miracle
But that's nothing new
It's amazing 
How you don't have a clue...

Ginger haired elf with a shiny fresh face
Roses decorated her eyes, she was full of grace
Perhaps she was a faerie who had lost her place.
She was ahead in every marathon race....
