The Dark Horse has Won the Race

So... I had to write a poem / story / article or just about anything using all the below mentioned words... for a job interview. After four failed attempts.... I finally wrote the following poem...

Mosquito / girlfriend / smoking / mad as a hatter / teddy bear / gang of girls / bouquet / laptop / sunflower / dark horse / diamond / ghost


The Dark Horse has Won the Race
The dark horse has won the race

The rookie was never to give chase
He proved all wrong, without brace
He waits to give his girlfriend, a warm embrace
The dark horse has won the race

She holds the bouquet, full of grace
She watches the gang of girls, footrace
Their memory buried of all the disgrace
The dark horse has won the race

They are mad as a hatter, trying to capture
Wanting to remember, the day forever
The smoking paper, the playful caper
The non-stop jabber, the mad masker
All let him remember
The dark horse has won the race

He is feeling lighter
Watching the mosquito lither hither
The ghost of failure, no longer he fear
The euphoria, he wants to persevere
For the first time this December
The dark horse has won the race

The day has ended, he is aware
As the sunflower turn east where
His triumph extends like a diamond’s glare
The pictures on the laptop show the fun fair
He hugs his little boy and his teddy bear
Glad that finally, the dark horse has won the race
