Miss Davidson Irish Eyes Are Smiling Down With Equality On Rachael
Note this weekend's time and
date carefully on any diary and
calendar you can find
For it should not be taken with
a pinch of salt but rather go down
and be marked in terms of it's
historical significance
Because saturday's
Grand National winning jockey
was in fact a women
And Irish eye's must have
been smiling down upon us
all in equal measure
And hopefully now she stands
and takes her rightful place
in the suffrage movement
Beside Miss E.Davidson who
placed herself in front of a
horse on that fateful Derby day
Merely trying to make a point
not become a martyr for or
to the cause
Because not only did
Rachael Blackwood beat
the bookies and the odds
The Chair
Bechers Brook
The Water Jump
Canal turn
And every single thing Aintree
racecourse could throw at her
She also overcame the men as well
Now not only finally equal at last
but one better
I'm only just so sorry because
of this insipid covid pandemic
A multitude of ecstatic fans
we're not there to will her
across the finish line
And Cheer her till the rafters
shook during the prize giving
ceremony
And again i only hope
you win again in the not to
distant future god praying
next year
So you can receive a posthumous
double celebration
