The Chased
The hooves of HedgeHunter - It’s bets on horses. Lucky with Songster; War veteran from fields in Leicestershire. The blacksmiths labour; The book Black Beauty. Jockeys race as cowboys arrive In Land Rovers with horseboxes. The ghost of Shergar - Vets hoover straw in paddocks And the Lords gallop for Trooping the Colour. Fox hunters bugle in protest - A chase against time with the bell from the Church steeple. Ears sharpen my voice, neck to neck - Good news - Red Rum to celebrate! Godspeed to the betting shop; His finger to his shaking lips, With ladies’ hats And champagne for their winnings - All at Aintree, As I go to a play called ‘War Horse.’
