A Galloping Fiasco

The gala begins words run line for rhyme    		                                             
Altogether spurring one on to better minds                                                                  
Some try throwing like green burred blankets        			              
Bucking horse and writer blurred tactics                                                                       
Mounted again penning whimsical race 					   
On the backstretch of imagination
