KINGS LEA ONE LOFT RACE
________________________
I had a bird in the Kings lea race ,
2845 was the number ,
He did his training at a fair old pace ,
And avoided the clouds and the thunder !
"""""
He was 2nd then 2nd then 2nd then late ,
On the £50 hotspot place ,
Then he redeemed himself by coming third ,
The week before the big race .
""""""
As the day grew close the tension was rising,
Would he win? would he place ? it was gripping ?
The only thing I knew for sure ,
My poor little bum was a nipping !!!
""""""
The birds were UP !!!
The weather MMMMMm OK
Nothing left to do but wait ,
And wait and wait and wait and wait
And wait and wait and wait ! ,
"""""""
We looked to the South ,
And looked to the East ,
And watched for the birds to appear ?
"THERE,S A BIRD ON THE LOFT" , somebody said ,
It had crept up on us from the rear !!!!!
"""""""
The race was won ,
The bird was IN ,
And Joe smiling ear to ear !
My bird was 4th but at least it came home ,
To fight on another year .
""""""""
The race day was a resounding success ,
It just could not have been better planned !
Marlene and Ian were excellant hosts,
AND JOE BENZIE WON A GRAND !!!!!!!!!
""""""""
A hearty congratulations to Ian and crew for putting on an exceptional day of racing for everyone .
Thankyou Ian .
