Strawberry Blonde

Strawberry blonde hair blown wild by the breeze Trailing behind as her mount she did tease Rousing his vigour as they came to the high hedge All the way over and still they had the edge Will her triumph be held right up to the end By and by we will know the answer my friend Everyone watching and urging them on Run boy run, is the theme of their song Rising again to jump the very last fence You should have heard the crowd as they winced But though the log rattled it never quite fell Long were the sighs as the pair did so well Onto the finish line for a rousing cheer Now it's all over, some will sup beer Down at the stables much later that day Ellie groomed her steed in the proudest of ways... ©Rhumour July 14th 2010
