The Line

18 0 0
                                    

The booming of the engines,
The clutter of the dashboard,
Three,two,one
And I've started my quest to pass the line,
The fastest, the strongest,
The most flashy out there
Waiting for someone to make a move
I set the gears from one to two, two to three,
Three to four, and four to five
By now I'm rocketing past the others,
I hear the loop is ten miles, but it doesn't seem like it
The line in sight, I engage the turbo engine and fluid
Ready to zoom past, the flag waving
The whistles blowing,
Horns honking
In the midst of the number one player
