Neck and Neck

In competition, neck and neck
They held each other's pace.
The crowd was rooting silently
The whole entire race.

The both of them so well-prepared,
They'd practiced and they'd trained,
So every possibility
Their brains had entertained.

The final minutes soon approached
And I was thrilled to see
Both Vanya* and Gokul* were winners
Of the Spelling Bee!


*Vanya Shivashankar and Gokul Venkatachalam
were declared co-winners of the 2015
Scripps National Spelling Bee last night.
