Indy 500 Fun:

Indianapolis's race, so fast and loud,
I joined the crowd, felt so proud.
But then I tripped on bleacher's stair,
And tumbled down, oh what a scare!
The fans just laughed and helped me stand,
In Indy, joy's at hand.
From racetrack's might to city's cheer,
Indy's laughter's always near.

Monument Circle, grand and bright,
I took a stroll, what a sight.
But then I tripped on cobblestones,
And landed flat, oh my bones!
The locals laughed and helped me rise,
In Indianapolis, joy's no surprise.
