Hamish the Horse

Swish tailed Hamish, gloss black Stallion Proud prize show hero bore blue medallion Champion head turner tenacious steed Lonely hoof stomper longed for a companion Incidence of coinciding reserved to imagine Narrow minded owners oblivious to his need High knee haughty mare trotted by his enclosure Temptation's waft overcame limited exposure Hamish neighed a friend request, - she agreed Lake rippled muscle, alpha outraged neck tossed Winner's whinny recognised chance may be lost Breaking barriers now became a necessary deed Chest of windswept lake assisted stable escape Charging through victoriously, gate swung agape Asked lady to dance, she daringly took the lead Dust distubed finesse surpassed usual manuevres Hamish whispered happily, " Forever, the two of us."
