Olympian

The day had finally come

We were headed to the games.

So I snatched up my gear

I had practiced and trained.

We rolled through the city

And took in the sights.

Couldn't wait to get in

And start the fight!

The arena was massive

Biggest I'd seen

We had dreamed to get here

Me and my team

We were runners you see

Sprinting machines

And now I had made it

To the biggest screen

I braced my foot

Ready to fire

As the crowd roared

And canons blew fire

I took of with a flash

And flew down the track

Leaving the others behind me

And never looked back

I could see the line

That marked the finish

It was right there and I knew

I really could win this

Ducking my head

I pumped my feet harder

Gritted my teeth

And stifled laughter

I could see it all now

Taking first place

Determined I was

To win this race

I'd stand up so proud

A gold medal wearer

I crossed the finish

And tripped the torch bearer.
