<\/a><\/p>\nPinewood Derby Sonnet<\/h2>\n
\nIn anxious silence racers waited there,
\nThey were all thinking of the derby cup,
\nThe happy talk and brownies they would share,
\nThe wooden cars zoomed down the gleaming track,
\nThe cars pulled close together then they tied,
\nThe winning cars were hung up on the rack,
\nResults came in; with Joy the people cried,
\nWith happy hearts the winners shook the hands
\nOf disappointed boys who lost the race,
\nWith joy the people shouted in the stands,
\nThere was a smile on everybody’s face,<\/p>\n
