The Race Is On

A poem

By Mother CombsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Nightcafe creation

I’m so far behind

So much to catch up on

I’m entirely out of the loop

The chickens have flown the coop

I’ve so much to do

There is so much to see

So here I go

You watch and see

I’ll come up from behind

And pass you by

Because the race is on

And I refuse to come in last

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    I love Hannah's son's optimism, participating is the win. So back winner is an Inverse winner by far.

    My son, losing in the race on his first ever sports day, came to me looking cheerful and claiming to be "the back winner". Last need not be a problem.
