I'M PRETTY FAST

I'M PRETTY FAST

If I run in a race
and don’t come in last
would it be fair to say
that I’m pretty fast.

maybe I am, but,
when it’s time to go.
Compared to my bike
I’m a little bit slow.

But I see lots of cars
Go by with a zoom
Between my speed and their’s
There’s plenty of room.

I saw in school
where the shuttles depart.
I couldn’t compare
Even with a headstart

So if I run in a race,
and don’t come in last.
It would be fair to say,
that I’m pretty fast.
