All types of racing events take place
\nIt could be a cycle race for students
\nCycle fast and you may win the race<\/p>\n

The opposite cycle event is also possible :
\nCycle slowly, don\u2019t touch your feet on the ground
\nThis cyclist can win the slow cycle<\/em> round<\/p>\n

We are also familiar with horse racing in a special\u00a0\u00a0race course<\/em>
\nPeople have placed large monetary bets on the winning horse
\nPeople clap and shout and win big prizes if their horse wins
\nThe winning horse gets photographed like a celebrity<\/p>\n

Another event is typing on one\u2019s laptop
\nParticipants are asked to type a document
\nThe winner obviously is the person who finishes earliest
\nMarks deducted for spelling errors, prevent you to be the first<\/p>\n

Today a new type of race is being proposed
\nSend most\u00a0<\/em>messages\u00a0\u00a0by your smartphone
\nWhat type of messages or trolls is not suggested
\nWin and get another expensive smartphone<\/p>\n

Well, well, I obviously cannot think of winning here
\nBut I waste a lot my time erasing stupid messages<\/p>\n

Hope this poem I am writing is not considered stupid.<\/p>\n
