THE MONUMENT NEXT DOOR
Someone lives on the right,
Someone lives on the left,
In between is the monument of “HAMBLETONIAN,
THE GREAT PROGENITOR OF TROTTERS.”
Hambletonian was a horse,
The monument was erected in his memory
In Chester, New York.
It stands in a small lot between two residential houses,
Resembling a small Washington Monument.
It is unlikely that anyone wants to tear it down.
It is also unlikely that many people even know about it.
But two households live next-door to it,
So they know about it.

Ah such a horse, so glad there is a statue.
