The Horse of Course

My horse I look upon the fields as I walk upon the meadows Nodding my head slightly making different shadows, I am at my happiest when you ride on me with saddle As I gallop through the mud and water to paddle, Thanks for cleaning out my barn i know theres a lot to do I can't do it myself I've only got hooves, I know that I kick you when you decide to brush my hair It's my way of saying I know you want me to look nice but I don't care, Thanks for the carrots and the odd Apple or two Can you get more red ones they're sweeter too I didn't mean to bolt off in the middle of night As you got drenched looking for me giving you a fright, Sometimes i get mischievous and not want go to bed I like to stay out and look at the stars instead, So thanks for the pats and strokes you give to me I would return the favour if I had hands you see. My Horse
