First Place
Only first place wins the game
When the competition is through
Only the first one attains the fame
That the second one aspires to do
Then there is the third place one
On the podium and standing tall
Though his not necessarily a place
That others will later recall
The fourth place one may be the worse
Of them all when compared
So close to the medals when he is done
Yet fans don’t seem to care
The last place one finishes the race
and does the best that he can do
he is recognized for his effort
And we applaud his competing too

Great piece, I am reminded of the Superbowl. Two teams have competed tirelessly defeating the others in the league for the right for only those two on the field for the final game, and yet only the winner here will truly be remembered.
Thanks L.Yes, it's easy to forget that the Falcons were in last year's Superbowl!
