A Champion Adds Zest To Life Poem by Margaret Alice

First it was Michael Schumacher
now it’s Philippe Massa
who takes my heart away
at the Grand Prix
every second Sunday
I’m all for Ferrari
Jean Todd looks so happy
and the Italian National Anthem
sounds like an opera

It is such fun
to choose a champion
and hoping for success
whenever he is racing
handsome men and motorcars –
How can my colleagues claim
that Grand Prix is boring? !

Look at Massa’s eyes
as he is interviewed -
such sweet innocence
a very young man
he will go far
under Schumi’s guidance
- choosing a champion
adds zest to life!

Fernando Alfonso – looking
like Dr Serfontein
with his sculpted mouth
the former world champion
look at his brown eyes
- what a joy to behold
the men who live for
ever-present danger!
