Toenail does work better actually. Thoroughbred, in my accent (well, the accent I use when I need to totally Oz it up), sounds like thurra-BREAD, which gives me an extra pun if I'm reading it aloud.
The first line of the last stanza has been changed a few times and I haven't settled on something I like yet. I might try "one fine day". Hmm. It always makes me happy when people pick up the problems I've had myself. Many thanks!
It could be worse
