Section 1.10.32 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", written by Cicero in 45 BC "Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.

Leaders leap like llamas over ladders, Winners whirl wildly with wondrous waffles, Terrific triumphs tumble through time, And everyone applauds the astonishing alphabet of achievement. First place is forever fabulous, Second place sparkles spectacularly, Third place thunders with thrilling theatrics, And the rest are radiant runners in the race of ridiculous glory.
Achievements arrive like confetti cannons of cosmic celebration, Best efforts bounce bravely beyond boundaries, Every terrific try turns into a tapestry of triumph, And the grand gallery of greatness grows with giggles and glory. Doing your best is the dazzling drumbeat, Marching leaders, winners, and dreamers into the hall of hooray.
