Golden Cloud

At birth I was named Golden Cloud, But you know me as Trigger. When I became Roy Rogers’ horse My fame became much bigger. They say I was the smartest horse That anyone had seen. I’d walk on two feet, sign my name And was house-trained to stay clean. Roy Rogers paid a hearty sum To make me his own horse. It’s equaled 30k today But I was worth it, of course! I starred in westerns, learned my tricks, And lived a life of pleasure, And in return, I was deemed A western National Treasure. I would not trade my life with Roy Because I knew he loved me, I run in heavenly pastures now And rest under green shade trees.

What a nice surprise, to learn that 'Trigger' was really Golden Cloud. And so much more, all presented in such a lovely poetic style. A pleasure to read, Linda! ~ Gershon
