| The Horse Race (Part 2) |
 |
| The post it comes nearer Whips they do crack Every effort is made Not to be at the back Who will end up In the 1, 2 or 3 Public with binoculars Craning to see The race it is over Gone in a flash Bookmakers curse As they hand out their cash The winner, a hero Greeted with cheers The trainer is beaming The owner in tears With joy unconfined Another horse wins And all losing tickets Are tossed in Dustbins The eternal optimist In gamblers, sees The next race's winner "�10 on 4 please" Another loser? Or winner Maybe found On this, Horse racings Hallowed ground For me? Well I'll wander off home Maybe to write A horse racing poem. |
