FRENCH BEAUJOLAIS

He was favourite for the race today 
No other horses would get in his way 
That's what the media and pundits say 
The horse's name was French Beaujolais 

All the horses lined up to start at midday 
The officials noticed there would be a delay
French Beaujolais had been led astray 
He noticed a stable with freshly cut hay 

The poor jockey who was from Marseilles 
Went home for his tea and had a sorbet 
French Beaujolais would not come out to play 
Much to the punters utter frustration and dismay
