Candy and Cheyenne

When I was young I had two horses, A gelding and a mare. The gelding's name was "The Cheyenne Star", With a temperament so fair. The mare, her name was Candy, She was anything but sweet. She looked just like a Clydesdale Without the hairy feet. Riding Cheyenne was a joy, With power steering and power brakes. He responded easily to each touch And what a difference that makes. Candy, on the other hand, Was like driving a big dump truck. Hard to get her to move at all But if she took offense, she'd buck. They are both long gone now But I remember both their styles And they left me with many memories Which can always bring on smiles.
