MIDWEEK MAYHEM: ''SMOKE OR SMOLDER'' STAKES

NO TIME TO BE ABLE A-BRINGIN
AN ELONGATED WONDROUS RACE CALL
DUE TO TECHNICAL ISSUES ALL DAY
THIS CAT IS ABOUT READY TO BAWL!

THE DEFENDING CHAMP CIGARSHOP
HAD JUST AN 8 CHALLENGER TEST
BUT WHEN THE FINISH LINE CAME ~
WOULD THE CHAMPION STILL BE THE BEST?

THE DAY BEGAN VERY SLOWLY
WITH NOBODY MUCH IN A RUSH
WHEN SUDDENLY A CHEETAH EMERGED
CLAWING HER WAY FROM THE BRUSH!

SHE SPRANG TO THE LEAD WITH A FURY
AS ONLY A CHEETAH CAN RUN ~
WITH 8 ON HER TAIL WAY BEHIND HER
THIS 'CAT' WAS JUST RUNNIN FOR FUN

SHE CLAWED & SHE ROARED ALL THE WAY
KEEPING ALL 8 WAY FAR BEHIND
NOBODY COULD EVEN COME CLOSE
AS THE ''CHEETAH'' WAS CROSSING THE LINE!

TO ''SMOKE OR SMOLDER' THE NAME
WAS CALLED FOR TODAY'S SPECIAL RACE
BUT NONE COULD COMPETE WITH A CHEETAH
NONE COULD KEEP UP WITH THAT PACE!

IT WAS 13 LENGTHS BACK NEAR THE WIRE
WITH A TIGHTLY FOUGHT BATTLE OF THREE
FOR BRIDESMAID, FLOWERS & 'PRECIOUS'
THEN A PHOTO DECISION WOULD BE

BY THE SLIMMEST OF WISPY GRAY WHISKERS
IN A TENACIOUSLY TIGHTLY FOUGHT RACE
FOR THE COVETED BRIDESMAID GRAY GOWN
IT WAS DUSTY WINNING THE 'PLACE'

EL PRADO DID CATCH THE FLOWERS
WHEN, AT THE WIRE SHE DID TIRE
STEALING 'THE PRECIOUS' FROM GOLLUM
IT WAS ROAMIN ALONE IN THE SHIRE!

THE DEFENDING CHAMPION, CIGARSHOP
WAS SIMPLY NO MATCH FOR THE ROAR
HE'S SURE TO RUN BETTER THE NEXT TIME
BUT TODAY HE JUST COULD NOT SCORE

TIGER DANCER, BLUNNY & CRUZAN
WERE TRYING TO GAIN ON THE LEADER
BUT COULD NOT EVEN COME CLOSE
WHEN TRYING TO CAPTURE A CHEETAH

FAR BACK & OH VERY SLOW
THUNDER CAT MEANDERING ALONE
SHE WILL RETIRE TO THE CAT HOUSE
FOR A WEEK IT WILL BE HER 'HOME'

WITH MEOW MIX ~ CATNIP & MORE
CHIPPENDALE DANCERS FOR FUN
NOT SUCH A BAD COMPENSATION
FOR HER LOSING INSTEAD OF SHE WON

SO THE RUFFIAN'S CHEETAH WAS SMOKIN
AS ONLY A CHEETAH CAN RUN
THE REST OF THE FIELD WERE JUST SMOLDERIN
UNDER THE MAHONING AFTERNOON SUN

SO HERE'S HOW IT ALL FINALLY ENDED
HERE IS THE STORY OF WHO SCORED
A THUNDER CAT IN THE CAT HOUSE
AND A RUFFIAN CHEETAH WHO ROARED

*IF ANY OF THE PRICES ARE WRONG

EVEN A FAST CAT CAN DO WRONG
WITH A CALCULATOR BUZZING HER TAIL!
