I owned a racehorse that was renowned,
as only fit to be knackery bound,
bit it’s not a disgrace,
for it won its first race -
although inside the gut of a greyhound....

That horse ain't wild
Though he's as wild as they come
Defying stern expectation
Deciding when to run

Now we will choose for him
His spirit broken in due course
Though there still is something wild
About that racehorse...

R… apes my wallet frequently.
A… prolonged waste of time.
C… arelessly treds over my happiness.
E… conomic failure, no question.
H… opefully going to break even some day.
O… h my god, look at these vet bills!
R… est? What’s that?
S… hoot, beat by a nose again.
E…ating dirt isn’t only the jockey’s job, but mine as well!...

Long legged, refined;
               An explosive turn of foot
               Racing to survive.

               Winners applauded; 
               Losers are soon forgotten
               A bloody business. 

               The rejects die young;
               no mercy being shown, slain
               Such a tragic end...

CONFINED 
round and round it goes 
looking for an entrance 
goldfish
 
STUD 
mare on heat 
retired racehorse 
not interested 

JANUARY 
a new beginning 
as cold as it can be 
thick sweaters 

SHOCK 
positive scarlet 
negative chocolate 
electrocution 

LIFE 
troubled living 
in sickness not in health 
worse disease worsened cure...

Fame means part of you
Maybe all of you
Belongs to someone else
Someone vicarious in their intent
Insatiable given their adulation
Proprietary, 
Eschewing personal risk or harm
Watching from the comfort
Of either praise or blame
They claim your soul like a 
Racehorse
When you win their hearts
Leaving your memory abandoned
 —when dissident odds prevail

I want to buy a racehorse
So i can name it

I want to have some money left
The day after i have been paid

I want to be younger
I want to be thinner

I want to go on a beach holiday
I want to play in the snow

I want to be taken seriously
I want to be funny

I want a relationship
I want my freedom

I want faith
I want to believe

I want
I want
I want
I want

But above all

I want to be WANTED...

An ostrich can outrun a racehorse,
And their eyes are bigger than their brains
The only birds that have but two toes
Some may even have saddles and reins!

On the old Batman TV series
They added Aunt Harriet, for they
Feared, two bachelors and a butler
Might have overtones of being gay!

Cricket chirps in fifteen seconds
Plus Thirty Seven's the temperature!
The Venus flytrap eats mostly ants,
And tigers have striped skin, not just fur!...

Haplessness

I was full of happiness, 
   But she soon burst me small balloon, 
   Blue sky of happenstance,
She treated me like a loon.

So I staggered off into the night,
Without too much regret,
Soon as I was outa sight,
She placed anudder bet.

Useless racehorse he was scratched,
The bookie wouldna pay,
She bet me last Sunday shirt,
But I had gone away.

The royal sport 

A racehorse died
it had given more
then its heart could endure.
Many racehorses die
every year
the difference with this horse
its trainer 
sat on the dead horse 
and smiled.
But horses like racing,
true but at its own pace
not made to run faster than it can
But the British are animal lovers
unquestionable, 
but they love betting more.
Racing horses 
is a commodity
if they can´t take the pace and win
the abattoir 
is the final stop...

When you're wanting to bet
   On a racehorse, don't fret.
   With this tip from the stable door.
   Pair Wunwun with Tutu,
   A double that's for you.
   It's a wager you should not ignore
   Wunwun won,one race,
   And Tutu too, her chase.
   That has left one bookie,quite sore.

   1 1 is a racehorse. 2. 2 is 1. 2
   1.1. 1 1 race  2. 2    1. 1.   2.

   Wunwun is a racehorse.  Tutu is one too
   Wunwun won one race.   Tutu won one too.
