Frilly Filly's Famous Story

FILLY’S FAMOUS STORY Although I am pink, don’t ever think That this filly is just frilly and silly, For I am a thorough bred filly who instead Of eating just oats, for my owner dotes On me, am fed in a pasture of my very own, Whose green grass is a sight to be seen, And oh, so pristine! What is my mode of work you might ask, It certainly does not involve any task, For I am shown off to the rich and elite, Who think it’s an absolute treat, To be shown a beauty like me I do sound vain but where else would They find a pink filly to see! My mane is brushed every day, With a gold plated brush by Fay, She is so proud, I always draw a crowd, And is quick to explain, I’m a descendant From the stables of the ex and late Senator Nicholas Brady, I’m no ordinary lady! Fay has desperately tried to find me a mate, But am truly fussy, I know my destiny and fate Is not from the regular horses around, but to be Found amongst the Arabian horses abroad, for imagine A local brown dowdy horse, I’d be fraught! Yes I’m a snob, my mate must be a real heart throb, For my vision and dreams are of never Ending meadows, and flowers, and trees and streams And a handsome horse of the same breeding as me, Maybe even a Lipizzaner who has a reputed background, They have been around for quite a while, Fay reads My thoughts and gives me a smile, hey Frilly don’t Stress pretty friend, for it is my eternal intent, That you be matched one day with an aristocratic Horse, and together you will take a romantic course, And have little foals, of which one might be pink, So never, ever think that your predominant, Pink genetic line will become extinct, you re such a Refined fine filly, nothing about you is silly, You will go down in history and be recorded, As the most beautiful pink horse ever born, Have patience, you will be rewarded! Frilly looked at Fay, and gave her a neigh, She loved Fay so, would Fay ever know, Frilly Hoped so, for if Fay looked deep into Frilly’s Eyes, Fay would know that she had won Frilly’s heart as first prize!

Oh, what a delightful fairy tale, Jennifer. I don't blame Frilly Filly from wanted to mate with a horse from the Arabian herd. They're majestic, unequaled. Perhaps in a sequel we'll learn the pink gene rose as dominant! Great entry for the contest, Jennifer. A winner to me in every way and a fave too. Hugs, Carolyn

What a wonderful comment - thank-you Carolyn. Funny you should write to me about the pink gene would maybe be dominant in one of her foals, my poem which got POTD, about 10 days ago Tony the Pony, his filly had a beautiful baby and our friends sent me a photo of the baby foal, so adorable so I will be doing a sequel on that -, oh and definitely on my lovely pink frilly filly. Poetry hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

G'day Jennifer … kids love a story like this that gives them an opportunity to search, and in this case, to see a pink horse. (I might be guilty too). Very interesting and good Jennifer - Lindsay

Thank-you Vijay I had fun writing it - the color was my concern but then i thought pink, frilly, sexy, girly yes, good for Frilly Filly, she gradually took on an identity! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Beautifully done. Adore this part: "Yes I’m a snob, my mate must be a real heart throb, For my vision and dreams are of never Ending meadows, and flowers, and trees and streams And a handsome horse of the same breeding as me." Good luck, Jennifer.

What an amazing comment my dear Alexis, thank-you so much, and yes I do love horses, my fav. animal and 2nd come the Lions we see in the Kruger National Park. I had to make Frilly filly different somehow and then I thought of my little pony, (the pink one that was in children's cartoon programs on TV) and decided that would be the ideal color for my fairy tale. Take care - poetry hugs, Jennifer.
