Evening and Horses

Evening and horses I`m walking on the bottom of an ancient sea The bottom is flat and rich in grapes and cabbage. The used to be a lake here, but it disappeared What is left is a small stream that gets its water from Water below. On the lake that was, and no longer is Helicopter pilots practice take-off and landing Some gipsy horses graze nearby and ignore the noise The choppers make- I took a picture of one going in For landing, it belongs to the fire department, many fires During the hot summer, some fires need to burn And some fires are caused by pyromaniacs. But never mind I will see my doctor at the hospital tomorrow She is like a beautiful race horse on the wrong side of fifty, She is forever telling me what not to eat; she told me curry Was fattening once and I said nothing on her desk there is A picture of her husband he is a pilot.
