To Get To That Special Place

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bravado and Humility
had a race

 The finish line
was a special place

 No one thought Humilty
had a chance
until Bravado
did a dance

In sight
of the finish line
he grabbed
a bottle of wine

Bravado danced the Ego Boogie

 At the "loser"
he threw an egg
but in the process
Bravado broke a leg

 !!!

 One hour later someone greater
—Humility—
passed him by
while the crowd
let out a wild cry

Humility crossed
the finish line
and what's more
he drank the victory wine
through a straw
