Mačakev Dvor and Paddy The Paddy are both shitposting in the forum in the sky whilst Fourlegs has never been me (nor I him) in the first place.
I have no designs on winning this contest and will happily welcome any thorough and comprehensice stewards enquiry – i.p check and all.
I can only imagine one of three things have happened.
1) Mr Pilsen has voted for me twice because he loves me really.
2) I’m getting a sympathy vote because Mr Pilsen has been mean to me.
3) Less is more and with my poem being the least pretentious of the lot, three people genuinely consider it to be the best poem of the bunch.
Whatever the case, now that I’m actually in with a chance of winning, I might use my one vote. That said, I’m happy to share it.
Bachelor Hall I have to confess to giving you 1 vote myself . Your poem was so simple and amusing that it brighten my mood when reading it.
Could whoever voted for me please pass that vote onto Nathan in the final countdown decider (as I didn’t vote for myself
honestly I didn’t ). His poem was inspired madness, it had the bling factor Gorgeous
although I’d like to know what a £32 carpet from Newmarket is Nathan
Seems a bit cheap to me, maybe it was an old throw out of Lady Cecils’s that she dropped off in Cash Converters

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...If Nathan voted for you he can no longer pass it onto Nathan as he has already passed it on to Bach.
The trouble with wearing the carpet at Ascot is if you bang in all the winners and spend a high percentage on high volume champers and end up on the floor at the end of the day.

if I stand here long enough
I’ll get my mug in the racing postBlackbeard to conquer the World
All the poems have merit
I have become a serial
reader of them and they
have replaced the Harbin
Ice festival for lightening
the spirit. This may be
temporary. I voted initially
for horsey horsey – brilliantly
succinct and so memorable.
Have to state though all the
poems are very special and
individualistic.
I do believe Nathan has
raised the bar and possibly
clipped hosey’s heels and
overtaken him in the straight.
Nathan has shown brilliant
invention and difficult to
compare with horsey horsey
but maybe he neighs better Still floating between the two
a bit for my final decision.Julian Swift knew it
and I learned it later in life.
Every time you hear the word horse
you feel so inferior to it as
a human being. Deep inside you realise
that we don’t match up to these
beautiful creatures – dolphins of the grasses.
Horsey horsey drums that message in
again and again and it makes me
feel very small – that is why I love it
as I rarely feel that way – so diminutive !ow who is that wearing the skin of a snake
it looks quite nice but sure is fake
in his hand a girt big cake
troubles about it’s Ricky LakeBrilliant
Cheers Ricky, it wasn’t hard thinking of words that rhymed with Lake……

Anyway, beautiful and moving prose Gamble, lovely

Nathan has my vote just ‘cos it’s him, TRF’s gentlemanly gentle man
Strangely Drone it came to me
last night in bed the
Jonathan bit and was
in mind to correct
it and strangely thought
you of all would pick
me up on it. Yes Jo
nathan
the show must go on.
Why?
I would have been delighted to share the prize… Not least because of the severe handicap of submitting a horse racing poem rather than a TRF poem. Indeed, whilst the word "horse" appeared ten times in "horsey", it didn’t make a single appearance in "In his giorgio armani".
Then it appears that we’ve gone into sudden death whilst I obliviously wandered to the changing rooms, had a bath and changed into my casuals after ninety minutes. Although admittedly, I did enjoy getting name dropped.
I can’t say I’m not disappointed in the manner in which the title was snatched away from me. Particularly as Gamble’s return to these pastures leaves me at roughly 125/1 to finish fptp next year
Ah well, you’ve earned it Nathan… Well done

Still time for penalty’s if your supporters come out late in force or ginger changes his vote again.
Blackbeard to conquer the World
My vote this time goes to Nathan, but horsey horsey is very memorable
Decided to switch my vote for the underdog. Seeing as the prize is virtual why can’t you have a deadheat.
I omitted to thank Drone for his
kind words and good to see both
combatants baring teeth
and with swords drawn
in the colosseum.
Its heartening !I like a sudden death but with the yearly
vote I think it has only recently been
altered to cater for this option
as Drone I believe tied with Glenn
did he not one year or am I having
another Jonathan moment ?
I was in the pub this afternoon
and went up to a man I know who
always has a book at the bar
and recited horsey horsey in its
entirety and asked him if he liked
it – he said " not particularly " with
a slight smile. He had smiled so maybe
he did like it – but his alter ego
maybe forced him to say nay.He is not a horse person and
would have had no glimmer of
understanding of Nathan’s entry.I could have written a good
poem about death and yes I
suppose I would have been
obliged to include the four
horsemen. There is a tenuous link
to horses via gamblers and possibly
Ascot is in there but devoid of words
so Hall has a point – where indeed
lies the horse or is it a lie ?conundrum could have solved it
Drone and Glenn
and more recently Kingfisher and billion both shared the yearly.
I got chinned by the blues
brother that was hard to take.Why settle for a tie that’s what they do in primary schools these days where the kids get detention for running in the play-yard.
Or in the 5 day test match where they bore the spectators to sleep for the week before shaking hands on the draw. A super over would wake them up in no time and even get the dog barking.
Blackbeard to conquer the World
I think there should be a stewards enquiry as you didn’t give people enough time to vote
My newly found klonies Peregrine Trousers and Walter Wall-Carpeting
were on the verge of a major coup if only I/We hadn’t nodded off prematurely
I see someone else as switched their vote.
Maybe "Horsey Horsey Horse" wasn’t a serious attempt to win, but you have to ask why did it pick up those 3 votes in the first place,
assuming that the 4th vote was Bachelors Hall’s
.
I can’t speak for the other 2, but for me it poked fun at the more serious attempts.
