A horse died today

A horse died
While people watched
And others, hearing of the death,
Came to see him too.

A horse died
In glory, he was a winner.
The lady owner cried
It was the first time she’d seen him this year.

A horse died
Others passed, too quickly to see
On their way to collect
Their winnings or for a pee.

A horse died
He was fast, now he’s fast on forever
Was he really alive?
Before, now or ever?

A horse died
Now he’s safe, for he’ll never lose
And end up old and thin
In a field full of poos.
