From the great man who wrote Ham on Rye with horrid Henry.

Great poem... replete with the kind of acute social observation that only Bukowski can muster.

so many of them like that, there and not there, breathing, farting, commenting, waiting for a thunder that will not arrive, waiting for the charging white horse of Glory, ............../// what an excellent poetic expression/// greatly penned

their life shines through; miracles happen, even in . I decide to stay for one more race. Great poem of Bukowski.. tony

their life shines through; miracles happen, even in ....... wonderful imagery. Beautiful poem. Thanks and congratulations for being selected this poem as the modern poem of the day for the second time.

" these little walking whales" , a great modern poem coming with immense force and well deserved modern poem of the Day.

Tracking father's day with an impressive nice title is definitely an excellent poem. Monday is definitely waiting for them to shine. A nice poem is chosen as the modern poem of the day.

Tale! ! Gone stale! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

What a ride from this great poet.

.......wow 40.000 was a lot of people at the track....sounds like a lot of fun :)

Nothing will overcome the perfection of the horse Spinoza..* *

I think that it is incomplete and still interesting.

I don't believe this is the full poem.

Every Father deserves one. An aptly timed poem. We loved the races. Smiling, ironically Tai

Sounds like modest surprise after winning a not-so-modest sum...

One of his short ones. Must have written it on a bar napkin. Maybe he would have finished it if he hadn't ordered another short one.

Either over my head or a little disappointing for CB.
