Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Rich Strike

I am Rich Strike and I do be

Twenty twenty two winner of

Racing the Kentucky Derby,

Thanks to some luck sent from above.

I wasn't even s'posed to run,

But thanks to other's scratch I got

My chance to get in on the chase.

The pressure on me was a lot.

I started out back of the pack,

But was just getting in my groove.

In the final turn on the track,

I rocketed in winning move.

Eighty to one odds, I am told.

You bet on me and you struck gold.
