Melbourne Cup Day.

Melbourne Cup Day.

A Poem by Julie Grenness
"

A tribute to the only city and race meeting that requires a public holiday.

"

Yes, it's the racing carnival,

Fashionistas so topical,

Significance trivial,

Lovely fillies,

Eye candy,

Drunk and silly,

Studs in suits,

Looking beaut,

Glitterati,

Haves and wannabes,

For the paparazzi,

Doyens of the racing industry,

You all look fabulous,

Gambling magnanimous,

Thoroughbreds' gloss,

Media hype and dross,

Great racing day,

Booze, bets and babes,

Stuff the plebs today,

Our city's public holiday,

Melbourne Cup Day!
