TRACK START

One jump, off the block

Swim through the waters cold

Swim hard, win gold

No one pursues but the clock

Tick, tick tock

Turn, flip – bold

Head to head, slowest of them all gets culled

Swim hard; kick fast, the record held hostage by the clock

Tap the wall

Smile on the face

Accolades from all

For the win, not place

Champion before the fall

Until the next race
