Before you awaits a door.
But suffering lies before.
Using your grit and your guts,
Pass through it you must.
Emerging, the same nevermore.

2010 Grand Prize Winner
The snake is back and we all cheer.
Cove to Clover is finally here.
Tiny leprechauns dance
in their jiggly pants
The race ends with lots of rootbeer!
