Mornington Cup

I sit in a dusty cupboard all alone,
I hold many memories of my own,
I’m one of a kind like a diamond ring,
I’m dented and damaged but a memorable thing.
But I know when I’m on my shelf at home
I'm safe and secure in my little zone.

A long time ago,
I was won by a horse that had a glow,
Talkara was the name,
Of the horse with the beautiful mane.

She trained here and there,
Night or day,
Which finally paid off when she got to play,
She sprinted her heart out,
While the crowd gave a shout,
That's when she won me,
A Mornington Cup victory!
