Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be

Oh Dear, what can the matter be
Did my horse get stung by a bumblebee
He’s gone wild, dancing and kicking
When a while ago he was frolicking
Carefree and happy as a chickadee
Among meadow flowers up to his knee
Now his mane and his tail in full swing
Stirring up a heck of a wing ding
Showing less strategy than a flea
To hell with all grace and dignity

Gershon Wolf February 16, 2018 at 4:09 PM Excellent romp. Glad I don't have ride that buckin' bronc!! You are really racking up the wins, my friend! How much are you charging for autographs now? Can I get yours before I'm priced out of the market?...All the best, Gershon Line Gauthier February 16, 2018 at 4:12 PM You are too funny, Gershon. You've got numerous other autographs to claim before mine tops your list. You are quite the charmer though...LOL
