Cheryl Ann Ross Poet I do not know?

Horses In Jammies

Oh how I love to look at those stripes.
They don't look quite wrong, But they don't look quite right.

Horses? We wonder, what happened to their mane?
A crew cut it looks like. A black and white candy cane.

A long flowing tail has been replaced,
By something that will definitely put a "Huh?" on your face.

Legs much too short to run for a living.
Love and devotion they're not into giving.

So what is their purpose, in this life so unfair?
To travel with "beasts"? They make quite a pair.

Next time you ask yourself why they're painted that way,
You can also wonder about their lack of "Neigh".

Horses in jammies. That's what they look like.
And to me they'll always be A most wonderful sight.
