My apologies to Demi Monde,
Rosie Rockets, of whom I’m fond…
Race Day costumery
Almost buffoonery,
Seems weird, this side of (either) pond!
–
A tilting bucket hat—
Black velvet, at that…
Fancy clothes
With—who knows—
What gimmicks for this season’s mat?
–
Shapely classic dresses
This American guy impresses…
But the head-gear
Is it fun every year,
Why cover those gorgeous tresses?
(of her hair)
