Cheltenham Races

Watched the steeplechase races at Cheltenham
At the haywall a jockey fell off 
His horse though continued to ride
And came first – what a great finish that was.
The name of the horse is Fiddlerontheroof 
But the victory was awarded to Monkfish,
Who came second, with a jockey on the back.
At my comprehension, Fiddlerontheroof won.
He did the job greatly, with no commands required 
He rode freely and gracefully, knowing how to make it
Showed splendidly what a horse ride must be like 
Without the torment of whips and this stupid rush.
