THE STORY OF THE GREYHOUND RACING DOG

THE STORY OF THE GREYHOUND RACING DOG

A Poem by anthony blake
"

FOUR LEGS TO THE WINNERS CIRCLE

"

THERE ARE TWO BREEDS, WHIPPET AND THE ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS

THE ITALIAN AND GRAY GREYHOUNDS ARE RACING DOGS

WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER DOG IS THEIR SLIM SLEEK BODY AND LONG LEGS

SO THE GREYHOUND DOG IS BUILT TO RUN

IN FACT, THEY ARE CAPABLE IN RUNNING 60 MILES PER HOUR

WE AS HUMANS HAVING ONLY TWO LEGS ARE LUCKY WE CAN MOVE ONE MILE

BUT BACK TO THE GREYHOUND DOG

IT’S ABOUT A RACE

DUST FLYING ALL OVER WITH THE MANUEVERING TRACE

JUST LIKE A HORSE RACE, PEOPLE WAGER THEIR BETS

ALSO LIKE RACE HORSES, THERE ARE MANY GREYHOUND DOGS TO CHOSE ALL WITH IDENTIFICATION NAMES

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE RACE AND AFTER NOW THAT REMAINS

THE GREYHOUND DOG LEGS MOVE SWIFTLY IN PRECISION

THEY CLASSIFIED BY DIVISION

RULES THAT GOVERN ARE PREVISIONS

BUT THE GREYHOUND DOGS HAVE KEEN VISION

SOME PEOPLE ADOPT AS PETS

BUT ANY GREYHOUND DOG IS A WINNER REGARDLESS OF LOSING RACE REGRETS

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY WITNESS A GREYHOUND DOG RACE AT THE GREYHOUND PARK IN DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA

AS I WAS WATCHING, MY GREYHOUND DOG WON, BUT I DIDN’T PLACE A BET

NOW THAT WAS MY ONLY REGRET

THE GREHOUND DOG IS ABOUT SPEED

THEIR OFF, THE SHOOTING GUN IN THE AIR AND ELECTRONIC RABBIT TO PROCEED

READY, SET AND GO

THIS NARRATOR EDUCATED YOU IN BEING IN THE KNOW.
