Default My Derby Poem

I wrote this some 25 years ago.

Prior to my graduation
In a crazy class
We had as our assignment
To write our epitaph

“I ended up as President”
Spoke one with great delight
“A millionaire”, “A manager”
Both followed on my right

As they turned and looked my way
I rose I spoke these words
“The best position I’ve found in life”
I followed up to say
“Is on the grounds of Churchill Downs
First Saturday in May”

Well this year I will not only be at the Derby for the first time in 22 years but will also begin the week with some horse I'm sure no one has heard of, Sumwonlovesyou, running as part owner on the Sunday before at Churchill.

Life is Good!!!!!!!!
