The Three Legged Race!

by

Bart Harper

 

Randy was famous in his little town
because he was the fastest runner around.
He would challenge other sprinters
and make bets of money and gold.
And, he would blow them away
from what I've been told.
He was a cocky young man it seems
and tall, handsome, the man of your dreams.
But everyone is destined to fall
and this is the story of how Randy came to a stall.

It was a cold, dreary night when evil came.
She was sexy, sweet and looking for a game.
She walked up to Randy and patted his a*s;
"I hear you are fast," said the pretty young lass.
He just chuckled and turned with a smile
"I can run like lighting and do it with style!"

The girl said "Well, race me!" as she took out her pen.
"Ill bet you my house, that you will not win"
Randy just laughed and took her bet.
He signed the paper, with no regret.

Then, out to the road they strutted along.
He tied up his shoes, he couldn't go wrong.
What happened next, made everyone shiver.
The pretty young girl started to quiver!
Her face turned red, and her hair fell out.
Horns appeared which left no doubt!
The handsome young man became quiet pale
Cause he knew the girl had came straight from hell.

The devil just smiled at what she had done.
"You signed my contract, this is going to be fun."
Being cocky, the man said "Fine,
I can beat the devil" and he took the line.

"Wait" said the devil! You must have not read
the fine print of the contract! Here's what it said,
"This is not a typical race!
There will be someone to slow down your pace!
The contest will be a three legged run!
And I pick your partner! Isn't this fun?"

The devil noticed a crippled old man
Crooked and slow, with white hair and a tan.
"There is your partner" the devil smiled.
The old man walked over, calmly and mild.

The devil's mate was an Olympic sprinter
I guess he had nothing better to do during the winter.
So they tied the legs and they all took the line.
The old man wheezed and whispered "Things will be fine."

The gun fired and it was under way.
The devil screamed and giggled on this faithful day.
But, then it happened! And the devil's eyes popped.
The unlikely duo, just couldn't be stopped.
As the old man rose off the ground
The devil frowned and didn't make a sound.

As they crossed the finish line, the young man cried.
He looked at the old fellow and let out a sigh.
"How did you do it? How did we fly?"
The old man said,"Ya never know till you try"

The elder's hair turned to brown and his beard quickly grew.
The young man understood just how they had flew!
He stood there majestically dressed all in white,
and said "Young man, never forget what happened this night!"

"I gave you the gift of undeniable speed,
but always remember, there are times to take heed"
"There are times to sprint, and times to pace!
And there are even times when I have to race!"

So that is the story of how the devil got beat
by Randy and Jesus in a holy track meet!

 

 

so ok, the phrase was   "Me and Jesus in a three legged race"  ....lol, so i guess it was appropriate.
