For Johnny Murtagh, the winning jockey
Horses are the most exquisite expression
Of humans descent from the animal Kingdom.
Yeats the Great -
The equine Irish poet,
He made a dare run -
pure poetry in motion
To jockey’s dream,
To bookies’grief,
To punters’stream
Of strong emotions.
Named after Yeats –
The Great eloquent,
He beat them easy
In silent conquest -
Making real history
In awesome manifest,
Reaching the Glory
Of triple Go(l)d Quest.
