                         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 .
