Thinking 'twould endear him to the fairer sex
He'd ever worn his heart upon his sleeve
By the time he found he'd been naive
~ The girl he'd married called him 'ex'
Perverse person is most predictable, you can bet on her mistake...

I find nothing more coward than a loud mouth one.
That includes Donald Trump and all his coward sons.
I am certain McRaven is more action than words.
While he was on the ground, you fought bone spurs.
There’s no one more thorough than a military Vet.
They got their hands dirty; not their panties wet.
They leave their daughters behind to fight foreign wars.
Yet, your only mission is to try and get with yours.
You say things as if our service was nothing.
But, your whole family are the cowards caught running.
OOH-RAH and Airborne are things you know nothing about.
My money’s on a Vet, so you should plug your mouth.
Whether you are betting on win, place, or show,
there is one important thing you should know.
Anyone with enough sense since the day they were born,
would never place a wager on a unicorn.
If you are at the racetrack to spend the day,
this is the number one thing I will say:
In any of the races from one to eight,
betting on a unicorn would not be too great.
Even if the jockey has a successful reputation,
his winning should not be in anticipation.
If unicorns are racing, cross them off your list.
The simple reason why is they do not exist.
I just went to the track to bet on a horse,
I lost all my money, of course, of course!
Then my wife yelled, "Divorce!" " Divorce!"
They said, I shouldn't have bet on that horse, of course!
But, I still have no " Remorse!" "Remorse!"
