 Humble Caledonian Bard

Sport of Kings


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.
