There once was a race No competition being a trace The only face was a lonely Hound Dog Kicking Up dust in a run like fog Yet fast on target No roar of encouragement Just a brisk carefree breeze The Hound Dog ran as fast as it could It was the moment where it stood The Hound Dog was feeling adequate He was missing the competition It was all a test in precision Endurance and courage extending into influence It didn’t matter speed It was the idea be confident and proceed The Hound Dog felt the strength of preparation The test runs were all indications Being the victor within All followed by conditions Molding into possibilities The Hound Dog knew at some point there would be competition The spirit to win and be admired Being alone no longer mattered It was a signal that the Hound Dog was in his own winner’s cycle Ready and prepared for the future starting running line The Hound Dog learned his own lessons Don’t settle for loneliness, but always be inspired.
