Belated Guessing

It's just like play
To tell next day
Who won the race
And in whose face
Tn, voters nit
A call 10 quit
Resounded plain.
AS though a train
Had rumbled DER
A cellar door.
Much early guessing
Is quite distressing.
A man may blunder
And. for a wonder,
with others losing.
Have luck in choosing,
As one in slumbers.
Some winning numbers.
It's safer waiting
For tabulating.
VINO halts TO view
The counting through
And says: "Oh. hol
] told v / So"
Nor trif 10 score
The da before
And in advance
Has better chance
To cotton to
The winning crew.
The rules restricting
Advance predicting
Are handicapping
And catch one mapping.
To fresh conclusion
They bring confusion.
Wait for the morrow,
Nor trouble borrow.
When you are certain
Then draw the curtain.
