Roy Pett Poet Limerick

Grey Diamond

There was a young jockey from Ireland 
Booked to ride the race horse, grey diamond
he wanted to be seen
painted grey diamond green
and kissed the Blarney Stone for Ireland.

Mark Martin April 13, 2017 at 11:41 AM Love the Limerick and the picture. Would make racing interesting to colour all the horses, but i suspect there might be a few objections. Congratulations on your win Roy! :-) Roy Pett April 13, 2017 at 12:23 PM Thank you very much Mark for your very kind comment on this fun write much appreciated.

David Bose April 10, 2017 at 7:25 AM Funny, Roy. I guess you've given us a new twist on "racing colors". Churchill Downs may never be the same ... Thanks, Dave Roy Pett April 10, 2017 at 8:35 AM Thank you very much for your very kind comment David, I have never been to Churchill Downs but from pictures and film it looks a wonderful place to visit especially for the Kentucky Derby, thanks again, Roy. :))

Andrea Dietrich April 7, 2017 at 8:20 PM Great job, Roy, and congrats for your win. It would be fun to see that green horse. Roy Pett April 8, 2017 at 3:11 AM Thank you very much Andrea so pleased you liked this Limerick, I have bet many race horses that are green ( a race horse that has no idea how to race ) thanks again, Roy. :))
