Marathon at 100

They didn't think I could keep up the pace

But I was ready for the big race

I knew this would be fun

After all it is just a run

The young thought they were cool

Maybe they think I am a fool

They probably have something to prove

But wait until I get into my groove

Then they will know what is smooth

Too bad they are going to lose

Well to compete you did choose

But it was my feet

I wasn't ready for defeat

Across the finish line I did manage

Think with me you can make a comparison

I had experience as an advantage

Saw the line and I went for it

Knew I could do better than forth

Or at least walk there as a last resort

But I was a brilliant runner and couldn't be caught

Steps on the pavement sounded like thunder

It did make everyone wonder

After all age is just a number

I ran a marathon at 100
