Racing Nature

On your mark

                     Get set 

                                Go!

Backpedaling her way over frozen

    Bok choi and Beans

    Broccoli and Berries

Dedicated Derbbie holds her own

Racing ‘round the pantry backstretch

    Pintos and Popcorn prevail

Fall-planted Spinach sprints ahead

Head-to-head with Mighty Mache

    hurtling through snow and mud

Jockeying her way down the homestretch

    committed to a course of limited consumption

Derbbie approaches the homestretch

    easing her way through last years’ food stash

                                           Neck-in- neck with herds of wild and spiny Nettles

                                               on the cusp of breakout

                                           Derbbie streaks forwards

                                           Early planted Peas hurtle forward in the infield

                                                 Overtaking last years’ frozen Edamame?                

                                                                       A long shot

But Derbbie might just win the emptied freezer relay

    before bolting into the upcoming garden heat.
