Five In a Race

Five In a Race

The famous five prepared for fun

The sensory race to be the best

Each had strengths and weaknesses

All eager to beat the rest

Each one confident of victory

To be the body’s champion sense

Who would emerge victorious?

Would the fight be fair?

Eyes had dirty tricks to score

Shuttered vision dogged the rest

Ears pricked to no avail

Sniffing the air the nose hit the door

Crying “cheat” the fated four

Regrouping swiftly

Each depending on the other

In full reverse the body staggered

Thus endeth the Eyeballs swagger.
