Pretty Christmas Hobby Horse

We all stared at the pretty Christmas hobby horse
Wondering who would get it, guessing in vain
There were eighteen of us grandchildren
Most of us knew we were way too old for it
Still, it enticed us with its decorated beauty
Highlighted by grandma’s gorgeous bubble lights
I think we were all relieved it was staying at Grandma’s.

My friend Dave, who passed away this year at 98, made a hobby horse two Christmases ago for a grandchild. It was done with such detail and such care, befitting an engineer with great design skills. I'll never forget it. He was so proud of it.
