The Race!

by Freddie Ryall aged 10

I’m a peregrine falcon and I’m always gonna win as I’m faster than you,
I can fly and I am faster than you too!

You’ll find me propelling explosively through the sky,
I’m faster than a bullet – you’ll see when I pass by,
You go 75mph when I am 3.2 times faster than you,

My dive bomb fills all with dread,
And you’ll always lose, I will put you to bed!
My horrifying squawk is like a whistle in your ear,
There’s no stopping me, I’m entering my top gear!

I see the finish line,
The prey’s blood is divine,
I won this race by more than a scratch,
The race is over, game, set and match!
