AN ORDINARY SUNDAY

An ordinary Sunday in December.
Here I am without an inkling
on a Sunday, thinking it normal.
Here I wait in an endless gap
between wishing and fulfilment.

Here I am, without prophetic sight,
hearing the collective engine roar
while consumed by anticipation.

Here is my Checo, starting fifth on the grid.
Rounding a bend...CRASH!...spinning off.
Now last. My stomach churning.
NO! Oh no!! All hope lost.
I am crushed, not again!

Hang on a minute - where's your faith?
He's good with tyres and at overtaking.
What kind of fan are you
to imagine the worst? LOOK -
he's already fourth from the back!

My Mexican Hero, streaming through the pack - 
he's third now, oh dare I hope?
A ten year wait, already too long.
Willing, hoping, praying that today's his day.

HE'S JUST TAKEN THE LEAD!!
The go go go of adrenaline rush - my heart
in sync with his - pounding.
Oh please Checo, no mistakes now!
Such euphoria. Feeling for him,
willing him on...

THE CHEQUERED FLAG!!
He's done it - he's done it!!!
The sixth of December, twenty-twenty,
in Bahrain...a Sunday

so extraordinary, so spectacular,
that I'll remember for the rest of my life!
YAY!!   🇲🇽🏁🇲🇽🏁🇲🇽🏁🇲🇽🏁🇲🇽🏁🏆🏆🏆


Congrats, Checo, on your first F1 victory!!
Here's hoping for many more next year with your new team, Red Bull 🍀🍀🍀


SEASONS GREETINGS EVERYONE...STAY SAFE AND HAPPY, AND HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!! XXXXXXX

    Many events that occur in life are all full of twists and turns but from all of them we will always find a path of peace that we will achieve in the future.

    My sweet Ygraine,
    Today my desire goes beyond praising your beautiful text, it goes with a loving kiss and the need to say that I am happy to have you in my life.
    Merry Christmas (2020 is not over, nor the virus is over in this dystopian year), but we are still here and we will continue, we will have happiness in our days again, BELIEVE!
    Many kisses!!!

    wow !!!!!!!!!!
    for the first time of my life i enjoyed that rush hour even my eyes were off screen dear Ygraine and this credit goes to your mastery over expression :)
    i used to watch sports with parents on national tv ,it was single channel we had back then thirty years ago and right before regular transmission sports were shown for three hours :)
    i would find car race very exciting but watching accidents was horrible
    Merry Christmas dear friend ,may you step into new year with more health peace and happiness amen!

    F1 also seduced me on Sundays. But it was all over, first the overtaking was rare (despite the extra help), then the races started to be broadcast on a channel that I don't have. However, I discovered American ovals, which are much more exciting (overtaking, spectacular accidents, etc., etc.).
    I really liked your poem, it smells like burnt tires ...
    HAPPY NEW YEAR, as far as possible and safely.
    Confine yourself but do not shut yourself down, infect others with hope and promote the contagion of peace, fraternity and social justice.
    Kisses.

      I have watched the American Ovals too, but they are a bit too dangerous for me...I can't bear to watch when they crash!😉
