    I’ll have a go

    Parading as they
    Await their partners, some
    Dipping their heads, some
    Dragging their grooms
    Others relaxed as
    Connections look on
    Keeping the faith
    Minutes to go before the
    Off a leg
    Up is offered and
    Now is the time
    To take the reins
    Colours aplenty
    As each runner
    Navigates
    Their way as
    Easily as possible to
    Reach the start
    Led up by a handler
    One after another
    Are locked away as
    Destiny waits
    Out they thunder
    Forward, urgently
    Feeling the
    Ground
    As they
    Lengthen and
    Lengthen again in
    Order to claim the
    Prize
    Resolute to the
    End the
    Supreme effort
    Undertaken will
    Live with many
    Thereafter

    I used to study Shelly, Chesterton, Thomas, Blake, Swift, Montagu and Byron et al extensively. If I’m allowed more than one shot then allow this as my first attempt. An haiku;-

    I call it

    Horsey

    Horsey horsey horse,
    Horsey horsey horsey horse,
    Horsey horsey horse.

    If I’m not allowed more than one shot then may my fellow competitors take this as a stark warning for next year.

    Also, I think 10/1 is a bit stingy. If there isn’t an official prize then I want a price.

    Angry little men with hats
    Clutching onto whips
    Victor grins at maurice
    The winner cashes his chips

    Treve wins by 7 lengths
    But nobody gives a ****
    Tarquins tweets had a list
    With no frogs names on it

    Britanias German granny arrives
    in a splendant carriage
    The duke by her side
    But the wheels abruptly creek to a halt
    As he notices a coloured fellow outside

    I say old chap you must be lost
    I musnt cause a ruckus
    But zimbabwe is 4000 miles that way
    You may borrow my compass

    This fellow is always smiling
    Never does he look sad
    In a voice as posh as the dukes
    He says my name is rishi persad

    Whisperss elizabeth to phillip angrily
    I’ll never bring you here again
    That man is not from zimbabwe
    Its that trevor mcdonald from news at ten

    All the while a middle aged 70 year old woman
    Is on a recconaissance mission
    To regain the confidence of youth back
    Until she is ushered in front of a camera
    For gok wan to mock shoes and hat

    Race and class wars ensue
    Assaults commonplace
    With high heels and bottles of beer
    As chemical grimthorpe with his perma puzzleed exepression
    Proclaims theres nothing to see here
    These people will improve for the outing
    We suspect they will behave 20 pounds better next year

    Destiny
    *******
    Take the brightest star at night
    add a dash of Kryptonite
    mix together then infuse
    a lightning bolt into his shoes

    Henry gazed upon the foal
    knowing this to be his goal
    and hoped that he would live to see
    the colt fulfill his Destiny

    **********
    I think he might have been called Horsey
    or something like that :? :wink:

    ‘Gorgeous’ Gok Wan live at TRF fashion parade

    In his giorgio armani
    TAPK looks as sharp as a knife
    his boots are very so shiny
    with the reflection some may lose a life
    or eyesight

    ‘gorgeous’

    Nathan looking dapper
    twenty pound Matalan suit
    wearing his fathers shoes
    and free work trousers to boot

    ‘gorgeous’

    Wearing just a gravy stained vest
    and a brown dirty nappy
    with a system book in hand
    and looking quite happy

    nits in his hair for accessory
    this look is worth a million
    he’s 108 years old you know
    and he goes by the name of billion

    ‘gorgeous’

    Lone Wolf, pink shirt
    shoes and socks
    quite gay,
    I say

    ‘absolutely gorgeous’

    Has this chap ventured to cognac
    maybe cider or been in a fight
    possibly got dressed in the dark
    at around half past mid-night

    ‘simply gorgeous’

    take a peek
    at this onesie
    a must keep
    from gamble
    white and
    fluffy
    just like a sheep

    ‘gorgeous’

    This is the eloquent Moehat
    she makes the queen look tramp like
    her Newcastle hat is top class
    and her trainers are Nike

    ‘pure gorgeous’

    This sophisticated 1965 tailor made jacket
    must of been his granddad’s and worth quite a packet
    ginger in colour, texture and style
    armpit sweat, he’s been wearing it for a while
    the value is there for all to see
    but the strawberry blonde hair is a no, no for me

    ‘gorgeous’

    Triptych here from New-market
    wearing a £30 New-carpet

    ‘gorgeous’

    but the winner is absolutely ‘gorgeous’
    Cormack, the best of the lot
    I took an hour to get this hat on
    before he took this shot

    You’re getting to be a real creep lately Nathan :P

    I shall have to have a word…

    You’ve put a lot of thought into your poem for the most part though. Well done.

    A bizarrely Caithnessian accented Gok Wan says:-

    "Get yer chaikid Corky, Ye’ve Pullled"

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
