A crazy idea

Let's watch the pony's run

I've been wanting to write a funny, crazy story using race horse names.
Ever since I watched a race with a horse named Who Farted.
It's such a crazy notion, I was certain some of you might want to take a stab at it too.

When mine falls at the first hurdle I can find all sorts of names for them.
Dodo, dead duck, are you really a horse. Though, I'm a donkey for backing it in the first place usually comes to mind. If I see a horse called, Trump's wall. I'm putting my house on it.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Lol, I don't know how many times my husband and I have said, now there's a name to bet on.

[Paul Bell]

Beats actually studing the form.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Lol yes and much quicker

Living in the heart of horse country, Lexington, KY, you would think I would do more "horsing around" in my poetry. My youngest daughter has worked with horses in the past . . . all kinds. In fact, she wrote a poem about horses when she was eleven. Here it is . . .

HORSES
Horses are chestnut, silver, and gold
Horses can be courageous and bold.
Their musical rhythm is in their hooves
They clitter and clatter when they move.
Chestnut, silver and gold,
you sometimes cry when they are sold.
But they are always in your heart
Even when you are far apart.
(As recorded in the "Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans, 1995 Edition)

Can you imagine a horse named 'Who Farted' winning the Triple Crown!!??

Every horse won't remain behind right when it started
with a horse entered with a name like 'Who Farted."
Surely, they'ed run faster than ever before
just because of what's in store . . .
Losing's no option!

Good luck with your story, Cheerie.
Tom

Love the poem,

Triple Crown: I know that's what we said. The old cowboy who named Who Farted wasn't chasing the crown.

that's good!

[Papaya]

:) is that for real? that's a funny as heck name for a horse

[Cherrie Palmer]

There are so many funny names some even funnier than that.

[Pete]

Lol, great name. not so crazy, perhaps a racing synonym for Passing Gas ... :)

[Cherrie Palmer]

I've let different names fall into place but I'm never happy with the outcome.

This is a good idea! Reminds me of the hilarious "Japanese world cup" game thing with all the funny horses XD there's a ballerina horse that dances and twirls, an elvis horse with Elvis presely hair and even panda! It's hilarious and amusing to watch so I recommend the movie/game to watch! It had me rolling on the floor dying of laughter!!!!! I'm looking forward to this!

[Cherrie Palmer]

They made a funny race called Marital Bliss and it was over the top funny.
I keep knocking it around but I'm never happy with it.

[LazerRays]

oh nice! hope you find the perfect story :D

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Interesting piece and challenging too. Being anti horse racing I would not know where to start the race lol!

[Robert Trakofler]

Bunnies submission

Welcome to the master race
The border wall steeple chase
Canter of banter this pace
Trophy reward of disgrace
Mane Attraction distracted
Didn’t get into the line
Colt 45 swig starting gun
And began trotting in runs
Horse Power just cowered
And walked around the wall
Gaits Of Hello just mellowed
And collapsed in a ball
Leon Trotsky-ed a pick
Seldom his trots did they stick
Glue Sniffer just plight thee his
Trough and contemplated bricks
Misinformation this course
Not fit for man even horse
Fanciful wall that they sport

[Cherrie Palmer]

I love it. The piece reads with a fast pace and your wit definitely came in 1st place.
A fun read, thank you. Now I guess I need to write one, and maybe somebody else will throw in the hat.

[Robert Trakofler]

oh i do like this idea Cherrie, I do it!

[barleygirl]

This is a great idea! I can imagine you coming up with some mind-blowing handles to weave into a gut-busting story! Many times when I write a story, my reviewers share all their ideas & it makes me want to rewrite to include more great ideas I hadn't thought of! Here it looks like you are trying to harvest the ideas beforehand, but I guess people aren't inspired to come up with their own ideas until you've posted some of your mind-tickling prose first! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

The only time I ever put money on a horse was in the Grand National.. many, many years ago.. the horse came in first but I was too scared to collect my winnings .. now how weird is that ... I was about 15 years old at the time.... of course.. this comment of mine might have been funnier had I made summat up.. like my horse came in first but the rider came the following week... or summat.. maybe .. now get writing x

[Cherrie Palmer]

I could see how a kid would be intimidated.
Lol
