Running Makes Me a Stallion

Running turns me into a stallion
Not a filly
A stallion

A full blown running machine
With strains in my neck 
And puffing and huffing from my nose

I know there are correct ways to do it
I know about pacing myself
But when the gun goes off 

I am gone
No longer here at all
A stallion running for his truth

A stallion running from the pack
A stallion running after his mares
I am in Montana running free

I am running up hills
And I am running down
Nothing else matters. I am a stallion living my true me-self.

Bernard Chan Date: 5/19/2019 9:41:00 AM Fantastic, Caren. Maybe it's just me, but I keep thinking Nike could adapt this into the script for one of their motivational Just Do It commercials :) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/19/2019 2:07:00 PM I should run over to NIKE and ask for a dollar or two for this terrific idea. If you become my agent, I can cut you in for thirty-three percent, Bernard.
