A Stayer Is A Horse Poem by Douglas Scotney
A Stayer Is A Horse
Rating: ★5.0
A rhymster-playwright failure
in old Australia
(not as far back as Shakespeare,
but well before the Wars)
played with 'wait'
as both 'attend on' and 'stay'.
He had a diner in a play
summon 'Stayer! ' not 'Waiter! '
and, for the slight,
get sprayed from a bottle of sauce.
