I don't know where this poem came from, but it just appear in my head as I type in another thread....so I thought I'd start a new topic.
________________________________________________

Take the books out of the Library's.
Take the beer out of the Pubs.
Take the petrol out of the Service Stations.
Take the girls away from the Night Clubs.

If you did all of the above,
these places would close down.
This scenario is actually happening,
to the greyhounds in every town

New rules have been enforced.
Some are good, some are bad.
The 80/80/60 breeding rule needs reviewing.
Fair dinkum......It's that bloody sad.

But the one that concerns me the most,
is the one that gives our dogs their pace.
By taking away their reward.
Will ultimately takeaway there CHASE.

Our industry leaders are not listening.
If they did they would hear our concerns.
But it seems all there worried about is their paid cheques.
& god forbid, who's next in turn.

So it's time our industry came together,
as the lies are running a muck.
I've had enough of all this rubbish.
It's time we BLOODY STOOD UP.

Regards Steve.

Nice.

Would you be offended if I corrected some spelling and grammar mistakes so others can share it?

I wrote this last month, just before the bullsh1t hit the fan.

I've tweaked it slightly.

Time it was revisited.

Please edit if necessary.

Another thing that concerns me,
is the reason the dogs get there pace.
By taking away their reward.

Their focus is on closure,
Social license is among the core.
Better watch out Trots & Gee Gees.
as your next....guaranteed for sure.

So it's time our industry came together,
as the lies are running amok.
I've had enough of all this BAIRD rubbish.
It's time we ALL BLOODY STOOD UP.

I think most of the public are listening now.

The wasted tax payers money being spent on advertising campaigns by this Government, the bulling tactics , the lies.....THEY'RE ALL FAILING and the public is now starting to see right through this BULLDUST.

Victory (if you can call it that) is just around the corner.
