BOSTON MARATHON

Folder: 
SPORTS



                 Thousands run.

           They pound the ground.

             Many, many, feet.

        It's really, really, neat.          

             They won't ignore

              the crowd's roar.

          They run.  Do they have fun?

             They run.  They have a goal.

          To be the first, the whole marathon to be done.

           Miles 26.2 yes to get to Boston first

       is what they are trying to do.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was inspired by Ruth Lovejoy's poem.  So I decided to do my own poem.
