~~Twas the day before Christmas
To the jackpot I go
My trustee ford pickup
My 4 horse in tow

I’m driving for hours
My mind won’t keep still
Did I balance the checkbook
Did I pay that last bill

When I loaded the trailer
Did I bring all the tack
This one has a dress code
Did I remember my hat

Rudy’s been stalling
On the first barrel these days
Should I push him harder
Should I start changing my ways

Bunnys been good lately
Not banging my knees
I just must remember
Staighter longer if you please

Wiz is so funny
Runs like the wind
If I just could keep her brains
From falling out her hind end

Dottie’s the newbie
She spooks just for fun
She jumps and she dances
But I think she’s the one

I get to the arena and
I’m trying to park.
What is wrong with these people
Did they get here at dark.
The awnings are out
They take up more space
Some think they are camping
Heck is only a day race

I finally get parked
Two on each side
Happy to see
None lost any hide.

I pay up my entry
Have I lost my mind
I must think its like poker
I run 4 of a kind

I get back to the trailer
I am full of good cheer
All the tack needed
Its all right here

I brushed and I saddle
Not one but all four
I gather the boots, the wrap
And the bells in the door

Warm up is good
The race it is started
Some one actually entered
A horse named Hoof Hearted

When wondering what happened
When all seems confused
I ride with the wind
This day I can’t lose
