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!
