Who wants to scream “Fire” in a sold-out theater?
That’s crazy, when the main attraction
Provideth such great
Satisfaction?
This rail bird of thirty plus
Years’ duration,
As a huge fan of Kentucky
Derbies; and similar arms of
The Triple Crown-
Surely that rendereth not
A racing clown!
Foolish enough was I to not “Mine,”
But “Summer” the 2009 “Bird!”
Fifty-to-one was not my word!
At the Belmont, a “wise head”
Urged me to shun Sarava!
I won’t make that mistake
This year! No fears
Have I that Tapiture will leap
Thru the Aperture; and
Wicked Strong I just knew would be there
Before Long. Rosie rides “The Vicar,”
Won’t the girl jock ride quicker?
My personal choice was
Cali Chrome, on my Dad’s birthday
(And Father knew the horses-
Somewhat, of course!!)
At that date, this mount was worth
One Hundred-and-eight (Smackers,
That is); Today, he’s Nine/to/Five!
No jive, Am I alone, to speculate how great
His payoff might be,
In Platinum–more
Than Chrome, in “Bones?”
