“A man from central Iowa has broken the Guinness World Record for the fastest
motorized wheelbarrow. … Friends and family gathered in support [as he] set the new
record at 57 kph.”
—WHO13

upon cheering from friends
when making a Guinness-Book winner

he broke record speed
then after the deed
they ate the white chickens for dinner
