2. Velodrome

Velodrome! Oh Velodrome! 
When shall I have my first go?
I pray t'is not too far from home
I will come with bikes in tow 

Round and round again on my bicycle 
Legs pumping and propelling me forward
Swiftly and steadily going around in circles
Hoping and praying I make the leaderboard

What will keep one pushing hard
Though the scenery barely changes 
The quest for glory to be grabbed
But the times that earn medals ranges

So know the outcome you desire 
And be extra careful at the bends
You must strive, push, perhaps perspire 
Persevere and cycle to the end.
