At the Track

So here I am in Saratoga,
Quite a lovely place,
But visitors must do their part
And watch the horses race.

The weather was cooperative;
The seats were in the shade.
The thoroughbreds looked just the way
That racers are portrayed.

Such fun it was to place a bet
And root with all my might.
Though winning was the icing, 
I enjoyed each single bite.

I love the town of Saratoga - 
Hope that I'll come back;
But if I do then once again,
You'll find me at the track.
