Greyhounds bolt,
Elastic dogs,
Trapped till the rabbit runs.
A gun fires and punters wave papers,
Smudged smutted hankies,
To wish poor puppies on.
Rabid run,
Rabbit run,
Dogs ‘fun’ done,
Punters wins to spend on rum.
Dogs retire to a night behind wire,
Howling,
Cold,
Whining.
Punters swagger to a night of vice,
Yelling
Warm,
Wining.
