Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

The Preakness

It’s the second jewel of the big racing crown.
The race takes place every May in Baltimore town.
Horses in the Kentucky Derby will have another go
at a racetrack everybody knows as “Pimlico”.
Here’s another chance for horses and jockeys to show their prowess.
The racing elite meet in a competition called “The Preakness”.
Thousands of horse racing fans will be there.
Don’t look for me.  I won’t be found anywhere.
The gambling world is certainly not a land of milk and honey.
I don’t care for the race.  I have better uses for my money.

Ilene Bauer May 9, 2014 at 8:27 PM i love to watch the triple crown races even thought i don't gamble at all. i just enjoy the horses and all the excitement that goes along with it. i choose my horse based on the horse's looks and name and cheer as if i had money on the race. i enjoyed your poem...
