I Have a Horse
I have a horse!

I now have a horse at home.
I never ever let it roam.
In fact two legs are tied up tight.
Yet loose enough to move alright!
It is so thin, you can see its frame.
Don’t tell the RSPCA, please from that refrain.
As perhaps I will not see my horse again.
I cover its thin frame sometimes you know.
Then its thinness is not on show!
It’s always indoors in the cold.
Although in the warm sunshine, I might it walk out.
Not on view or folk might shout.
Even laugh, they might you see.
When they see my long john undies!
On my clothes horse! He, he, he.
I have a young cousin so many times removed and all that, who is a keen rider. I often annoy her with my poems which she reads to her parents. I wonder what she will make of my latest horse. Incidentally I did learn how to fall off a real horse in the RAVC many years ago. lol
