inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 3 October 2022, medal.
I was flying along in the race,
Gold position, was setting the pace,
But I leapt the last jump,
Caught it square on the rump.
Knocked it over and finished last place.
Soft Landing
Mister Bump 
But “you” finished so never mind!!

They used to say “slow and steady wins the race” but how come I was always last?

It’s not about where you finish; it’s about finishing what you start. Didn’t your Mum tell you that? 😂

Your funny verse gave me flashbacks to elementary school track and field day. 😞 Hurdles! Sometimes we can clear them, sometimes we need to go around them!

I didn’t care for my teacher assigning me to the hurdles. I made up for it in the crab walk competition. 🦀🥇🙌🏻
