Derby Day

The odds are stacked against me

But I’ve picked my favorite horse.

Today is Derby Day and will I watch it?

Yes, of course!

 

I am not a race fanatic

But for this one in Kentucky,

I select my top 3 choices

And I hope that I get lucky.

 

My bet and my mint julep

Are imaginary; still,

I scream and cheer my horses on,

A rare live-action thrill.

 

So here’s to Soup & Sandwich,

Midnight Bourbon, Brooklyn Strong!

Though you’re all long shots, I believe

You’ll prove the experts wrong.

 

I’ve chosen you to win this –

That’s despite the tipsters’ claims –

By a method I’ve perfected –

I’m attracted to your names!
