Daytona 500 By Larry Chadwick Going in circles Was never profitable to me. Chasing my tail, Just wasn’t meant to be. Somebody figured it out, And did it with wheels. Doing it together, Just to see how it feels. Measured in laps, On an oval track. Hazards a plenty, Courage, no lack. Done in the memory, Of driver number three. Daytona 500 is run, For a million point three. February 17, 2002 |

For that kind of money I would chase my own tail for days, and take stock in the prize once I caught hold of it! ![]() [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (02-17-2002 03:04 PM).] |

I enjoyed your poem very much, Larry...but I agree with Victoria...I don't think I could handle the worry and the stress if my husband were one of the racers. ![]() copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Larry, My whole family was all excited today. LOL. Everyone was watching the race. I have to confess... I don't get it. I guess I don't have to though since I wasn't out there playing bumper cars today *chuckles* (That is what it look like today I've heard) Hugs, Tara "My heart is like an open book, for the whole world to read" |
