NOW SHOWING A GRIN INSTEAD OF A FROWN

AT THE CHESHIRE CAT'S TAIL IS THE BEE BUZZING BUT FLYING LOW

ANOTHER GAP BACK TO KID ROCK WHO IS NOT ROCKIN MUCH TODAY
SINGING A SAD SAD SONG OF FRUSTRATION -&- FUTILITY

WAY FAR BACK IN THE DISTANCE IS UNDERDOG
WHO IS LIVING UP TO HIS NAME AS HE SEEMS TO BE
HEADING FOR THE DOG HOUSE INSTEAD OF THE WINNER CIRCLE

~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~

BLACKHEART -&- HELGA CONTINUE TO LEAD THE WAY

SUDDENLY A ROUSING ROAR FROM THE CROWD AS THE
ROMAN EMPEROR IS ON THE MOVE WITH EVERY STRIDE!

JUST WHEN IT SEEMS THE LEAD
BY THE DOMINANT DETERMINED DUO
COULD NOT BE OVERCOME ~
WHEN THE DISTANCE SEEMED TOO FAR TO CATCH THE RUNAWAYS

THE ROMAN EMPEROR IS PUTTING ALL THOSE IDEAS TO REST!
HE IS GAINING ON THE FRONT RUNNERS
DIMINISHING THEIR ONCE INSURMOUNTABLE LEAD WITH EVERY STRIDE

BUT CAN HE HAVE ENOUGH POWER, SPEED, DETERMINATION
AND THE WILL TO GET TO THEM BEFORE THE WIRE COMES FIRST!
