The Caucus Race

Forward, backward, inward, outward, come and join the chase! 
Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus-race. 
Backward, forward, outward, inward, bottom to the top,
Never a beginning there can never be a stop 
To skipping, hopping, tripping, fancy free and [bad word]  
I started it tomorrow and will finish yesterday. 
Round and round and round we go, and dance for evermore, 
Once we were behind but now we find we are be-
Forward, backward, inward, outward, come and join the chase! 
Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus-race.
