Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “tack/tech/tick/tock/tuck.’” Use one or use ’em all for the bonus points. Enjoy!

Tack makes me think of horses, which makes me think of Yellowstone -which we are currently binge-watching, so in light of all that, I came up with a poem that almost satisfies the prompt.

At the Races

Tick tock goes the clock

At the horse races in Kentucky

Jockeys check their tack

As they climb on each’s horseback

No time to check tech before

Pow! The gun signals they’re off

Men tuck their guts behind saddles

Racing around the muddy track

For the prize that fills the champion’s sack.

Huh, guess I did it after all!
