Out There

Checkered flag came down,
The crowd went wild shouting
-day at snail races.

    A snail race?! That's got to be a distraction in slo-mo - great stuff!

    ha ha, I love the plural of races, like there could be more than one in a day for a snail -- what an achievement!

    you are so clever!

    sort of like the mini-dach races they have here--a little faster, but no less distracting!

    Thanks--

    A wonderful thing to watch a snail race - it must be a lot like watching paint dry. Love this...

    A long, drawn-out distraction that would be. Very fun.
