this is the time of year

when cub scouts begin to plan,

what to do with a block of pine wood

sitting in the palm of their hands.

it’s all so very exciting

as their little imaginations begin to run wild,

the possibilities never seem to end

nor do their giggling and wide-eyed smiles!

on the other hand,

the parents are trying to hide

their nervous twitches

while doing their best –

not to collapse under the pressure

of

their little one’s high expectations.

much goes in to planning

a pinewood derby car –

the size,

the weight,

is how cool it looks when

it

SPEEDS!
