POEMS

The 31st Pilgrim – Daughter of the Earl of Godolphin, The Horse Trainer
By
Amelia Baldree

  1. Listen closely and do not vex
  2. About the maiden who joined us next
  3. Unfeminine dresser, medium height and lean
  4. Of the Sport of Kings, she is their Queen
  5. Straight boyish-cropped hair
  6. She has a calm, turquoise blue stare
  7. When it comes to sciences and mathematics
  8. She knows many brilliant tactics
  9. This girl is very knowledgeable and smart
  10. With her many friends, never tart
  11. Honest, kind and very virtuous is she
  12. Never telling lies and full of glee
  13. Believes in aliens, conspiracies and such
  14. About extraterrestials, this girl knows much.
  15. This one young woman understands horses
  16. And is a great teacher of horsemanship courses
  17. She is the daughter of the Earl of Godolphin
  18. In her family’s tradition of horses, she is proudly the next of kin
  19. Like her father, and many more Godolphins to be
  20. She own the best Thoroughbreds as far as the eye can see
  21. She trains champions at prestigious Newmarket
  22. On her horse to win, the nobles bet
  23. On one fine and clear day in July
  24. At the start away the horses leapt as if they could fly
  25. The gray horse was in the lead
  26. She showed tremendous early speed
  27. Next, in the Winner’s Circle, as the horse her head flings
  28. This horse is trained by Amelia, the Queen in the Sport of Kings
  29. Amelia’s horse won the Darby this year
  30. Now she is with us on this pilgrimage here
  31. Travelling with us to Canterbury today
  32. Amelia is onto the next race, with her gray horse, Princess May
  33. On this holy pilgrimage for fun
  34. She is here to also show off how May can run
  35. Yet do not doubt her true and strong faith
  36. In God and Jesus and the Holy Wraith
  37. When it comes to Catholicism, the Godolphins are devout
  38. To churches across the country, they have been about
  39. Here on this Canterbury pilgrimage, she is here now
  40. So please greet Amelia, with a bow.
