upper weardale show, august 26, 2006
speckled jim flies a lap of honour
then swoops with arrogance
into a ford transit van
having beaten the greyhound in a fair contest
little girls tappity tap in their clogs
while thelwell ponies
bearing hacking jacketed moppets
parade past, led by serious women
whippet 'gainst shi tzu;
swifty is fleetest of foot, no question
but fluffy takes short cut and wins
(we know it's a fix, but who cares)
remember cnut? (that's ker noot)
he of holding back waves fame?
lesser known is his love of greyhounds
want one? hard luck
capital offense, unless you're royalty
so poachers slyly interbred
creating lurchers, hairy beasts
just as quick, but disguised
that sounds like the poachers interbred
i meant the dogs
(i love this show)
stanhope silver band plays on
while a barn owl demonstrates silence
farmers with fat fingers ignore earnest types
re-building a dry stone wall
tups with enormous bollocks look bored
and a bloodhound cocks his leg
to pee on his master's white trousers
