LIVERPOOL AINTREE ~ GRAND NATIONAL ~ APRIL 2017
ALL Liverpool Ladies are beautiful ~ Please
DON'T miss them in all their glam and glitz
I am biased but they are all Truly Scrumptious !
Everyone has made a real Scouse effort ~ Hats
Shoes and everything & anything in between !
Don't mention ASCOT ~ a drab reflection
ALL Liverpool Ladies are beautiful ~ Please
You have to squeeze Them to believe Them !
AINTREE ~ Liverpool is the home of the greatest
INTERNATIONAL STEEPLECHASE in the World
NUMBER of Runners (40) makes it a real spectacle ~ We
TOOK our place by Becher's Brook amd watched them
RISE six feet into the air ~ Up and Over to a big drop
EVERY ONE a thoroughbred ~ Each a potential Winner
EVERY HORSE much much braver than their Jockey !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN

There is racing all week and LADIES DAY is always on the FRIDAY ~ there is racing all week and the Weather and ~ this year ~ has been perfect.

Great write but not sure about the ladies in the photo - well the ladies are great but can't say I like their dress sense - or lack of it....! aw heck it's all in fun !!
COME ON MICHAEL ! Have you never been to LIVERPOOL ~ That is LIVERPOOL DRESS SENSE at its very very best ! They also taste as good as they look ~ YUMMY ! BRIAN
Actually I'm staying at The Dolby later this month for a few nights - I'll look out for them.
Clever again Brian. Well done. You are master of the form.
Thanks FRANK ~ I like ACROSTICS for several reasons 1. They challenge one's vocabulary 2. They set a finite line limit for the poem 3. Thy don't have to rhyme 4. It is a classic poetic form etc. Yours BRIAN
Did not know that Brian! Very nice tribute.
Thanks HONEY ~ as you know the British are very Fashion Conscious and also we are Horse Mad ~ so if we can combine the two we arein Heaven. I don't know how those five lovely Liverpool Judies would go down in New Hampshire ! ? Hugs BRIAN
HA HA. They would catch a very bad cold! 🙂
Doh! I'm much nearer Ascot than Liverpool though! heehee.
Thanks "O" ~ In my experience ASCOT is a bit stuffy and a very tight Dress Code for YIN (F) and YANG (M). Liverpool is the home of the BEATLES ~ CILLA BLACK ~ KEN DODD etc so it is much less stuffy and much more laid back. Also the GIRLS (in the picture) on "Ladies Day @ Aintree" are ordinary Liverpool Judies ~ done up in their finery ~ some are even on Benefits ~ but in Liverpool things always drop off the back of lorries including designer dresses ~ shoes and hats ! They prove every year that you don'y have to be a Millionaire or Famous or a WAG (Professional footballers Wife) to look a million dollars and very very special on the day ! Yours BRIAN
I mingled with the 'famous' a little - well, an antiques dealer off the telly. He was stuffy though. And some people are not worth talking too much, especially if they are rude - not outright rude, but shifty! Anyway, some say he bullies the contestants on the telly into buying what HE wants them to buy. That spoilt my day out a bit. doh!
Wow, didn't know about the ladies dressing up to go to a horse race like that. I am always informed by your poems. So did your horse win? Great acrostic, by the way. Hugs-Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ Well the second one of my SEVEN was ONE FOR ARTHUR who won at 14 to ONE so for a bet of $10 you would win $140 ! My Granddad is called Arthur and I have an Uncle Arthur and he is my favourite UK King so ~ if I was a Gambling Man that is the one I would have backed. I tipped it to one of my best mates and he backed it for £20 and won £280 so he gave me £50 for my local YMCA which my Charity ! They always have a LADIES DAY at the major UK Races ! Liverpool Ladies are called JUDIES and they always dress OTT ! Please you liked the Acrostic ~ my fave poetic style ! Stylish Hugs for you ~ BRIAN
