The Race Track
by Rocky Robinson 2024
Would you ride if it was fast,
If won—if you were last.
Would you ride out in the Cush,
Run her deep till the wheels start to push.
Would you wheelie across the line?
Or make that pass coming from behind?
Kiss the trophy girl if she were hot,
Or shake her hand, U think quite not!
