I WON ~ The Egg & Spoon race
When I was only FIVE
My MUM was there ~ my joy to share
The Proudest MUM alive !
All the other EGGS fell off
With such a clitter clattergee
But mine stayed on ~ I was NUMBER ONE
Because I had a stratergee !
I didn't cheat ~ my plan was neat
That magic day in JUNE (1989)
Took BRO's advice before the race
And just spat on me SPOON !
I won a Chocolate Medal
Which melted in the SUN
And a knitted Teddy Bear
Which said N U M E R O U N !
Is it GOD's retribution ?
For spittin' on me SPOON
I've never come in FIRST again
Perhaps I PEAKED TOO SOON ? !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
I an still participating @ 35+ level but the GOLD MEDAL
still eludes me. Lots of SILVERS & BRONZES (and 4ths
and 5ths etc). I progressed through Sprints to the 1500
meters ~ middle distance and the odd Marnathon for the
YMCA ! It's worst in ONE JOB INTERVIEWS because there
are no silver medals ! I always do my very BEST and of
course I always play "By the Rules" Love to all BRIAN XOX

Doh, I was disqualified when I won. I glued the egg to the spoon before the race started. heehee.
Well you shouldn't have held the spoon upside down - I did tell you but have you ever listened to me!

Good fun write, I used to play many sports but my one reward was in the mid 1960's I was the Kent Youth Clubs tennis champion - now not a lot o' people know that.
Very cute and lighthearted poem, Brian! Great job!
