The Runner
The Runner
The Runner
The Runner

He runs
Downhill
Like a
Stray hupcap

Adorned
With white gloves
Beneath a
Snoopy hat

His heels
Hardly
Touch
The ground

Running
On air
Barely makes
A sound

The Runner
Runs forever
Even when
He can’t anymore

The Runner
Runs forever
Into the wind
Of his memories

She won
The big one
Beneath a
A Red Sox hat

The Mainer
Put
Bowdoin
On the map

She bolted
And ran
Away
In L.A.

Her early break
So bold

They sent her
Home with the gold

The Runner
Runs forever
Even when
She can’t anymore

The Runner
Runs forever
Into the wind
Of her memories

He’s known
As the man
Who invented
It all

With gold
And silver
From Munich
To Montreal

His example
Was ample
For millions to
Take to the road

He ran
So fast
He outpaced
The law

The Runner
Runs forever
Even when
He can’t anymore

The Runner
Runs forever

Into the wind
Of his memories

The Runner
The Runner
The Runner
The Runner

Up and down
The hills of life

Up and down
The hills of life
