Why on earth do we call it the sport of kings,
As we put our money on such fickle things,
We read the form to make a calculated guess,
Against the bookmaker in lady luck we bless,
I donate to a charity, for sick animals you see,
One of few redeeming factors fate has left to me,
I should consult the expert, that's the horse's vet,
I didn't know they were sick when I placed my bet,
If I like the odds then maybe I will take a chance,
That my meagre investment could possibly advance,
I'll never be rich, this much is obvious to me,
I simply follow horses that follow horses you see.
