R is also for Ruth,
on the occasion of her second marathon
A is for AGE
The younger the faster
But sooner or later
You become an old bastard
B is for BEER
Drink after the race
A little too much and
You’ll fall on your face
C is for CARBO-LOADING
Push back the wall
By cooking up pasta
And eating it all
D is for DNF
Quit ‘fore the end
A shrug of your shoulders
Then go home to mend
E is for ENDORPHINS
