Don Johnson Poet Rhyme

Thunder Eco

Eco Thunder

Got me horse on the footpath ,
Old Thunder ain’t  lightening quick,
Keeps me lawn a mowing  down,
And leaves me them manura bricks.

Has his nosebag chaff n oats,
Oats for power is the trick,
Good company in the house,
Chomped the rug a little bit.

Have me Aussie Kneepad saddle,
Pads to keep you in a bit.
Don’t need protection, horse on guard ,
To kick n bite and strike halfwits.

Cheap to run at half a gallop,
Don’t  jig jog the natural gait,
Aussie horses walk ,trot, canter,
Less kidney trouble old mate.

Horses had homing  control,
Took the drunkards home with care,
If you got lost in the horse paddock,
Let him take you home , 
yes you’d get there.

Francine Roberts June 7, 2011 at 8:51 AM good entry for Robb's contest, I remember when we used to ride the horse to the store, people gave us weird looks as we tied her to the telephone pole by their cars

Delysia Hendricks June 6, 2011 at 7:18 PM I had to come back for a second read. Good thing I did, because it seems I got your name wrong. Sorry, DONOVAN OR DONALD or whatever your mother calls you (besides HEY YOU). Lol @ manura bricks. Good one, Don. :))
