AND AWAAAAAAAY THEY GO IN THE 'SMOKE OR SMOLDER' STAKES
(https://heavyeditorial.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/244442.jpg?quality=65&strip=all&strip=all)
LEAVING NO DOUBT AT ALL WHO IS 'SMOKIN-HOT'
RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE IT'S
THE FIERCE, FEISTY FILLY FELINES -->
THE 'CHEETAH -&- THE TIGER' BIG CAT DUO
LEAVING THE REST IN A FRUSTRATED FURY OF FUTILITY!
~~OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME~~
THE 'INNER CHEETAH' OF RUFFIAN HAS CLAWED HER WAY TO AN
IMPOSING LEAD WITH A TENACIOUS TIGER DANCER 13 LENGTHS BACK
THE 'ENERGIZER-BLUNNY' APPEARING TO BE HOPPIN ALONG ON A
HALF-CHARGED BATTERY IS NEXT ~ ANOTHER 10 LENGTHS BACK!
DUSTY & CRUZAN ARE TRYING TO CLOSE THE HUGE GAP
WITHOUT SUCCESS ~ AS CIGARSHOP IS SEEING HIS HOPE OF A
REPEAT VICTORY DISAPPEARING QUICKLY IN THE DISTANCE
MEANWHILE, THUNDER CAT IS SNOOZING ALONG IN NO HURRY YET
~~THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE STRETCH~~
RUFFIAN CONTINUES TO ROAR ALONG WITH A FURIOUS FRENZY
OF SUPURRR-SONIC SPEED INCREASING HER LEAD EVEN MORE
TIGER DANCER STILL HOLDING ON IN 2nd PLACE BUT WITH A
HUGE AMOUNT OF GROUND SEPARATING HER
FROM THE FIERCELY FAST FILLY IN FRONT
BLUNNY TRYING TO CHARGE UP HIS ENERGIZER-BATTERY IS NEXT
BUT WITH LITTLE TO NO HOPE OF CATCHING THE 'BIG-CAT' DUO AHEAD
A HUGE GAP OF ANOTHER 8 LENGTHS BACK TO DUSTY & CRUZAN
AS DEFENDING CHAMP, CIGARSHOP, SEES HIS REPEAT HOPES
GOIN UP IN A CLOUD OF SMOLDERING SMOKE
THUNDER CAT, SHOWING NO SIGNS OF 'THUNDER' AT ALL
IS DOING A DAWDLING-DRIZZLE-DANCE FAR BACK APPEARING
TO BE HEADED FOR THE CONVIVIAL CAPTIVATING CAT HOUSE!
~~AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME~~
RUFFIAN, WITH A DISPLAY OF
'CAT-TANKEROUS' - CALCULATING ''CHEETAH POWER''
IS MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE RACE NOW!
WITH YET ANOTHER BURST OF FELINE-FRENZY-FURY ~
RUFFIAN'S 'INNER-CHEETAH' IS JUST FLIRTING WITH THE FIELD
WAY FAR BEHIND HER AS SHE HEADS TO THE WIRE AMIDST
A RESOUNDING ROAR FROM THE CROWD ~
IT'S 20 LENGTHS BACK TO A TENACIOUS TIGER DANCER
DOING HER OWN TEMPESTUOUS-2-STEP-TANGO
TRYING TO CLOSE THE GAP
BLUNNY WITH A FRIGHTFULLY FAILING
HALF-CHARGED-ENERGIZER- BATTERY IS NEXT
BUT NEEDING BUNNY BINOCULARS TO SEE THE
'BIG CAT' TWIN TAILS DISAPPEARING IN THE DISTANCE
ANOTHER HUGE GAP BACK TO A BATTLE FOR 'THE PRECIOUS'
BETWEEN DUSTY & CRUZAN
DEFENDING CHAMP, CIGARSHOP, WITH NO CHANCE OF A
REPEAT VICTORY, NOW SEES THE DOG HOUSE DOOR BECKONING
WITH THE AROMA OF MILK-BONE BISCUITS IN THE AIR
THUNDER CAT SEEING NO CHANCE OF ESCAPING
THE COZY COMFORT OF THE CAT HOUSE
COMPLETE WITH CATNIP & CHIPPENDALE DANCERS
HAS SETTLED IN QUITE COMFORTABLY AT THE BACK
AT THE WIRE IT'S RUFFIAN
WITH HER 'INNER-CHEETAH' ALL ALONE
AT THE WIRE BY 23 LUDICROUS LENGTHS!
A TRUCULENT TIGER DANCER NOT GIVING UP EASILY TURNS
'TIGER-TENACITY' INTO BODACIOUS BRIDESMAID BLING
THE NOT-SO-ENERGIZED-BLUNNY, STILL HAD ENOUGH BATTERY POWER
TO TAKE HOME THE FRAGRANT FLOWERS IN 3rd
DAWDLING DUSTY & CREEPING CRUZAN FOUGHT HARD FOR THE
PRESTIGIOUS 'PRECIOUS' WITH A DETERMINED DUSTY STEALING
IT AS A GRUMPY GOLLUM GLARES FROM THE BUSHES!
