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

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

Love it. Reminds me of the spring colts frolicking through the bluebonnets here in Texas.
