All my loves were compared to Horseracing.

All my loves were compared to Horseracing.

Maybe because I'm not into horse racing

but with all my loves

I was always pipped at the post.

I fell in love with Rachel Ward

but against all odds

Bryan Brown won that leg!

Long before that

I fell in love with Marilyn Monroe

but I was scratched...

something to do with power and politics.

Yes! All the President's men

couldn't put her back together again.

Just a candle in the wind!

I loved Brigitte Bardot

but when God created woman

he left me somewhat behind....

I was still a boy!

Then there was Jane Fonda

such a young filly but she

was in the clouds

floating as Barbarella

and I was stuck in the stalls.

I fancied my chances with Joan Collins,

she was a flighty mare, whoa!

but toy horses weren't in vogue then

you know, a colt like me

when she could have a stallion

and she did!

Neigh! Neigh!

Oh! Then I fell for the Bond women

all in fact, I'm not greedy,

but never in the race

007 had a license for everything

I didn't own a car!

If only he was doped tested.

Yep! In the end

I had my own paddock.

Lucky I could tell the sheep from the goats.

Anyway, I found My Filly;

had to jump over a paddock or two.

But it was worth it

I could  have ended up

a gelding;

a monk amongst fillies and mares.

It's funny....

now  that I'm older

I think I'm  become a mule!

Francis comes to mind!

Wilbur!

A fun write. Being of a certain vintage, I too was in awe of all the women you mention here. I still think Marilyn had more charisma than any other - except for my wife, of course...LOL! I enjoyed the read.

[andrew mitchell]
