Whinging Willy sure felt silly
Placing a wager on a chestnut filly
Who ran around all willy nilly
Bringing up the rear in the Derby of Dilly

So swift behooves...
in challenging quest...

Premium Member Black Suede Derby

There are some people with hats galore.
That is not the case with me.
I have just one hat, and I don’t need more.
It’s the only one I like, you see.
My favorite hat is a black suede derby.


Premium Member The Kentucky Derby Poem

As swift behooves,
In challenging quest,
Competitive hearts,
Race their best,
A treasure to win,
One measurable test,
For equine ones,
The World's Best.

Premium Member Carrying His Steed to Derby Town

Hidden Face Man of Des Moines was carrying his steed to Derby Town.
It’s the oddest sight, agreed a jokester, a monkey, a duck and a clown.
Onlookers wanted to take a peek, for it is not a matter of course
When you see a man in a turban carrying a brown upside down horse.

Premium Member Kentucky Derby Day

Today is Derby Day 
It is a big day in Kentucky
I have never attended,
but I try to watch each year

I love to see the dresses
and the fancy hats
and the beautiful, strong
horses give their all

It is a special day that people
in other states may not
think is a big deal
but I love Derby Day

Merseyside Derby

The

Merseyside derby 

The Red Peril

For every Blue

Even Bluer after 90 minute's 

The tortured fan's faces grimace 

Children cry on the long road home

This is not the 1st and it won't be our last 

But we are born Everton Blue

It's in our D.N.A

Tomorrow is another Day

To face Red Enemy Fire

Thank the Lord for Beer

The Derby Winner- Super Saver and Borel

Calvin Borel-
Another defeat for you on the rail
Super Saver put the others through hell!
2:04:45- 
Another winner did you contrive.
Borel, three wins in four years-
My man is definitely feared
by his peers!

Super Saver,
Though not the favor(ite)
On this day of mud and muck
You were the Savior!
In the Belmont and Preakness-
May you be on the side of Luck!

Dedicated to the winner's of the 2010 Kentucky Derby

Premium Member Kentucky Derby Weekend At Church

They wore their Kentucky Derby headdress hats into the church.
The minister knew that no one would be seeing him that day.
He liked conducting a sermon the weekend of the Derby.
He did not have to comb his hair or brush his teeth.

Wise people sequestered behind the hats stopped struggling to see.
Resigning themselves to the fact that it was a hopeless quest.
Aha! They all saw the disheveled reverend on their way out.
Commenting later at Sunday dinner that his hair stuck straight up.
