My kingdom for a horse he said Yet Richard the Third we've not read Though the play's assigned Shakespeare’s such a grind We'd sooner chill with Mister Ed

The duo broke-up! No longer an item, we'll now hear the truth about what Musk & T-rump thought about each other....Travel bans of countries galore. Richard the third killed on the battle field horse shot, cried out "a horse a horse, my kingdom for a horse" --Shakespeare. It's nice to have the web at our whim to understand more...I'm grateful for that! Mr. Ed--Brilliant lim, Duke

Anaya, the world is indeed a crazy place these days. I guess it always was, but now we have instant coverage and we see the bad as it happens. You've been very kind. Thanks and smiles!!!

Horsing around will never lead to higher learning. I doubt a horse would've saved Richard's Kingdom. A titch too power hungry was he. Your Limericks are always interesting in many ways, Duke... even when you include that T word. lol

Lin, yes I did think it was funny using that word. There's some interesting discussion on line and videos about Richard III. It may be he was not as bad as represented in the play. It 's suggested he was the victim of a hatchet job. I'm surprised our current wannabe king hasn't issued him a pardon and a medal since he thinks he's a direct descendant of the Plantagenets and Tudors too. Wait, I forgot....he really thinks he's a deity.

Thanks Ilene, I had a lot of fun with this one. I just wonder if people who are a bit younger than I won't have any idea about Wilber and Mr. Ed's adventures. I really loved that show. That horse had a great sense of humor.
