Horse and Ale

A Horse and ale The brewery had many horses to carry crates of beer around to small shops and each horse and its driver was assigned a route The horse I liked was shiny black it had been used for funerals before but over the years got a bit broad hipped and stomach heavy. The horse knew the route and stopped outside the grocer`s and waited while the driver unloaded crates of beer. The horse sometimes had an ******** thinking of a favourite mare a bit strange animals only know one way and askew foreplay The driver usually had a bottle of beer at each shop and when the round was done he was in a merry mood and sometimes fell asleep but the horse knew the way. After unharnessing the beast, he brushed its coat checked the hooves and for the horse, the highlight of the day, gave it a big slice of bread. So long ago there had been a devastating war Jews immigrated to Palestine and got a piece of land they called Israel, we believed what the papers said the persecuted people deserved a homeland we did not reflect that it was. A historic injustice had befallen the Palestine people and echo that will not stop before the real Semites get their land back
