A Horse Is a Horse

A HORSE IS A HORSE….

Back in the sixties long ago,
TV programming was awfully slow
we'd tune into our favorite show,
Mr. Ed, the talking  horse.

Peanut butter forced his smile,
and made his lips move for awhile,
his  conversations versatile,
remembering  Mr. Ed. 
 
In black and white without the frills,
he  brought the audience some thrills,
to witness his conversing skills,
watching  Mr. Ed.

Our fondest thoughts still restore
memories of shows from before
they’re not made like that anymore
We loved you,  Mr. Ed

He was one of many favorites. Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillys, He and She was short lived but I loved it. This ones a sing along to the original tune.
