Frank E Gibbard Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The course chased forth stretched out Ahead in racing challenge as the driver Gripped the controls, at last head of the Whole field speeding onwards fast To the grand prix, victory’s shield And triumphal glee. One final curve a waving flag and then The champagne moment most deserved His big accolade, and lemonade’s sweet flow All in the soapbox derby afterglow.

tonyv Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 It takes me back to yesteryear, Frank, to the days of the pinewood derby. I suppose kids these days don't even know what that is with video games and whatnot.
