Acrostics

Vehicles lining up
Racing towards the end
One checkered flag
Overshooting the other cars
Maximizing the speed gauges
Punch, kick, seeing stars
Out! screams the referee
Winner!! In the right corner
The sound of the grandfather clock
Insanity of the sound it makes
Can’t stay calm
That grandfather clock and the noise it makes
Out of my mind annoying
Can’t it stop
Bandits and Cowboys pulling their guns out of their holsters
All around the sound is heard
Never stopping the blast of the sound
Guns go off
