'Race you 'round sixteenth street-' <br />As fast as lightning itself- <br />I could beat him, yeah I could, <br />If my shoes were tied. <br /> <br />'Wait up! ' I cried; but he <br />Was already around the bend. <br />I could catch him, yeah I could, <br />If only I was older. <br /> <br />He's just too fast, <br />I never last <br />In a race between him and me. <br /> <br />There's a shortcut, though, <br />I know the way home, <br />I'll beat him there, you'll see.<br /><br />Jonzo Bandwagoner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/older-brother/
