Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Off Track

River Crossroad, a racing horse,

Was racing in his second race.

As he did move around the course,

He quickly began to outpace

All the other competition,

And did hold a seven length lead.

A sure winner, he was the one,

Heading toward victory indeed.

Then suddenly he left the track,

Much to the colt's jockey's surprise,

Sitting helpless on the colt's back,

Bidding farewell to the win prize.

River Crossroad decided, "Darn,"

"Time for me to head for the barn!"
