Lyle Pearce Lovett

Joe Ely
The new chum's polo pony was the smartest pony yet -- / The owner backed it for the Cup for all that he could get. / The books were laying fives to one, in tenners; and you bet / He was on it. / The bell was rung, the nags came out their quality to try, / The band played, "What Ho! Robbo!" as our hero cantered by, / The people in the Leger Stand cried out, "Hi, mister, hi! / Are you on it?" / They watched him as the flag went down; his fate is quickly told -- / The pony gave a sudden spring, and off the rider rolled. / The pony finished first all right, but then our hero bold / Was not on it.
