the derby, ‘stakes,
and preakness
beneath the glitz and sleekness
(nice hat)
is subjugated torture
from which they make a fortune
(phat cat)
no late day repercussion
concerned about concussion
(bone snaps)
just training, tricks,
and slaughter
(nice hat)
slow hooves consigned
to fodder.
(phat cat)

REALLY-????? 🙂
Mighty Mumford! Oh, how you have mightily improved my Monday–for all that it’s a Wednesday; an overly long Monday this week–oh. Just the sweetest thing to come home to, barring that 6 figure novel deal. Thank you for playing this forward–something every race day fan should consider before donning the dunce cap…
Why…you are so welcome! 🙂 This is what I live for!
