a haiku

ye mullets and muffin tops
flock from the world 'round
and meet at the drag races

things i got from the LA marathon (5K)

special edition Chip Clip
cover band serenade of Eye of the Tiger at finish line
Emerald Nuts dry roasted almonds
raging stomach ache from said almonds
some lady farted as I passed her
small sense of accomplishment
