Near the end they said
Not long left now
I rubbed my chest
I furrowed my brow
Somewhere else I’d rather be
Other folk I’d rather see
I looked ahead and saw them there
My faithful friends waiting for me
My legs like jelly
They couldn’t move fast
But I crossed the line
Even though I came last
Marathons are not for me
I find them quite bizarre
Will I ever run another one
Maybe I will—if it’s not too far

Thanks Bridie! 🙂
I’d struggle with 26 yards, let alone 26 miles!
Same here 😅
Beautifully done! Congrats on the bonus points. 😀
Thanks Linda 🙂
Well written.
Thank you Lakshmi.
Try a space walk. zero gravity lessens the load…
Good idea Ron 😄
I don’t think I could run a marathon of any length! My legs would probably turn to jelly within a minute!!
I walked in a mini marathon years ago. Twice actually! But I’m not a runner! I’d die if I had to run a few yards. 😃
Well done. Happy surprise at end as was expecting something sad.
Thanks Amelia. 🙂
That was cute! Congrats for the bonus points!
Thanks Cherie!
