This is the next entry to our writing competition. I wasn't quite sure which thread was the best place to put it so Ive gone for the general section. Find it also in the competition thread in 'forum and website issues'. I hope you find it enjoyable
It’s all in a word
Fast, a blast, it hurtles past,
Heads turn, hearts yearn
Born to race, to set the pace.
Slows down round the town,
Moans and growls in discontent,
Hear it scream. Hear it vent
Its need for speed.
Exquisite style, a work of art,
Fires your senses, captures your heart.
Touch it, stroke it, feel the curves
The beast beneath will test your nerves.
Lines of beauty, sleek, sublime,
Want it! Want it! Must be mine!
Red, blood red, red of desire,
Red of passion, red of fire.
Touches you like a lover’s touch,
Leaves you wanting, wanting much.
Fire in the belly, molten heat,
Pulsing power, rhythmic beat.
Feel the fervour, hear it hum,
B-bum, b-bum, b-bum.
Remember the ghosts of times gone by,
Always special, never will die.
Hallowed places, famous faces,
Winning hearts and winning races.
See them through the haze of years
Remember the glory, the cheers and the tears.
Adored by fans from near and far,
Crossing the globe to see their star,
Swaying banners and waving flags,
That prancing symbol on their bags.
Clothed in red from top to toe,
Tifosi, Tifosa, Tifoso.
Romance always close at hand,
Like the flick of a magic wand
Takes you to another land.
A mountain pass, wind in hair….
Flying onwards, not a care,
Into the sunset’s golden hue,
A different place, a different you.
Romantic notions, magic potions.
Dreams. Sweet, sweet dreams.
Iconic creature, every feature,
Special, unique, nature’s freak.
Ethereal essence; you can’t recapture
That feeling , that rapture.
Can’t make it, can’t fake it,
Can’t buy it, can’t deny it.
It’s in a word,
It’s all in a word

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

In the beginning there was the Word, and the Word was ..F.E.R.R.A.R.I..!! 
but you're right, I think a bit of a Tifosa lurks.
