I am delighted to live where thoroughbreds roam
Raised on bluegrass and calcium-rich water
Mares running, foals frolicking, stallions alone
In their pastures unbridled, joyous, free  

I  am distraught to live where thoroughbreds race
Jockeys on their backs
Round and round on turf and poly and dirt
Blinkered, bridled, saddled, whipped
