Rich Strike Poem by Ima Ryma

Rich Strike



I am Rich Strike and I do be
Twenty twenty two winner of
Racing the Kentucky Derby,
Thanks to some luck sent from above.
I wasn't even s'posed to race,
But thanks to other's scratch I got
The chance to get in on the chase.
The pressure on me was a lot.
I started out back of the pack,
But was just getting in my groove.
In the final turn on the track
I rocketed in winning move.

Eighty to one odds, I am told.
You bet on me and you struck gold.
