Second place
Who's to blame
for second place,
the horse that tried
to win the race,
the jockey sat
upon his back,
the betting media's
hackneyed hack,
the groundsman who
prepared the course,
the stable girl
who fed the horse,
a build up of
the acid, lactic,
the trainer and
his stupid tactics,
the bookie who
advised each-way
was not the clever
way to play,
or is it simply
hapless punter
who likes to blame
the world and chunter?
There is always someone to blame and when you lose it make you feel so much better… unless you lose big. Honestly, you amaze me with your rhythm and rhyme ability.

LOL. I think if I had a race horse I would call it “Changes Lanes Without Indicating”.
