Poet's Corner
Superlative

The fastest, the strongest,
But where is the medal for the Best?

The highest, the longest,
The fastest, the strongest,
But where is the medal for the Most?

The Most pages,
The Most time input -

> But in Heaven, other things make the grade
And all other pseudo-values fade: On the moon, their eagle's nest
And soon they fly to Mars
But each one's Most and his Best
Shine much more than all their stars...
