First On Race Day

3’s

a

crowd

&

2

too much

opt

4

spot

that’s

far

from

clutch,

1

is

lone

–it’s

—prime

—-it

—–starts!

&

bests

the

rest

with

no

odd

parts,

it’s

first

(in)

(verse)

once

pen

in

hand,

no

search

4

more–

just

pen

&

man.

it’s

sole

so

spare

it’s

fine

&

rare,

a

stag

to

brag,

but

not

to

share.
