Winners

Do you know the pain

Of an also ran?

Then you know the pain

Of a man.

I've won a few,

But only a few.

I am an also ran.

Have you ever been faced

With second or third?

Number one can look

Oh so good.

Well I've been there

And I'm here to tell,

You look pretty tough too.

If you're lower than third

Or even last

Be proud of yourself

When you've given your best.

"Praise and glory to one,"

We all can shout.

An also ran has won!
