Poem
Elmont was a good father Children never a bother Having two daughters years after he wed Everything well planned not much debt Rose and Susie were their names Beautiful flowers blooming in a family picture frame There was an incident long ago With these two lovely does When the red head got mad one time Slugged her sister Susie one eye did shine “I want to change direction!” Rose claimed an objection In the form of a rejection Breaking tradition Ears closed not able to listen Was Rosie’s mission “Clever move You still have a lot to prove” Black Eyed Susie did respond Being relatively calm About the other Derby race That could have winner’s circle space When their dad heard about this He was ready to raise an angry fist But after smelling a white carnation He was placid very patient Deciding to make a date Making reservations to visit the Garden State It was there He brought the pair To show them buds Soon to be lovely studs After their campaign For fortune and fame Elmont gave his kids a Visa credit card Since they worked real hard “This is your nickel and dime jar You are my special stars” Noting the special inscription that was read Hinting that there are stallion’s egos that need to be fed Nine months have passed Since Rose and Susie’s birthday last Elmont retired to sip from the cup given to breeders And now it was ever so sweeter On this his wife’s Labor Day There was only one thing Elmont had to say Two hundred and thirty eight days to the first weekend in May
