War Memorial

Should Phar Lap ever leap
Down to the Quay
Taking the warrior astride
For a Pegasian ride to earth,
Then slip the girth
And unseat him into the street—
Imagine the commotion there would be!
How the people would shout
And gaze, and race madly about.
The windows of the Buildings would wake
Apoplectically, amazed
At the dazed column standing solitary.
What a tumult in the town,
Should Phar Lap
Ever leap
Down.
