Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Oct 05, 2013)

Family Sport

Three brothers share a family sport:

A non-stop marathon

The oldest one is fat and short

And trudges slowly on

The middle brother's tall and slim

And keeps a steady pace

The youngest runs just like the wind,

Speeding through the race

"He's young in years, we let him run,"

The other brothers say

"'Cause though he's surely number one,

He's second, in a way."

Check Braingle.com for the answer.
