A Racer

Anthony “Tappy” Paull

A racer is one who likes speed for the fun not afraid of potential danger,

Adrenaline he craves and competition he savors no thought of losing I wager,

 

To be faster than most is the aim of this bloke as he gives every last drop of sweat,

Be it legs, ski or motor whatever the course no matter the cost or the debt,

 

He might race on the dirt, sideways to the turn a concrete wall on his right to avoid,

Or ski down a snow hill the ultimate thrill no brakes just a sea of white void,

 

To take to the air is another cool dare aerobatics and dives can give you high G’s,

Or a supercharged ski can race on a sea getting rough and tossed in the breeze,

 

What motor vehicle on two three or four wheels round circuit a lap time can yield.

That is so inviting and so very exciting when with speed and machines you will deal,

 

These rather odd people there need not fear for the speed in itself cannot bend,

Danger is not acceleration or even top speed but rather the sudden stop at the end!
