Unstable

I see no Knight in shining armour On his trusty steed I can't see the local farmer or man of any Colour or creed Who would want a valentine like me No man with any sense Who would date a woman Who's name is Hortense Hortense stable is my unfortunate name Not a good start When you are in the waiting game I have been waiting to be someone's Valentine For a very long time At school, when asked if I could play The boys would shout Neigh, Neigh, Neigh Go Hortense And play the other side of the school fence I would not mind so much If I was tall and slim Like a racehorse Elegant and slim I look more like a pony A Shetland at that Small round and podgy Cuddly and fat One day while out walking and feeling Sorry for myself All my friends were married and I was still on the shelf I suddenly felt dizzy My head was spinning around When I came to, I was Laying on the ground I felt someone's arms around me Who said "are you alright, love? Looking up, I saw a man An angel from above I said "thank you" as I got back on my feet The man smiled kindly and said "this is an unusual Way to meet" He asked for my name, I did not reply This strangers presence made me feel shy He looked hesitant then began to speak "I would like to see you again if you don't Think I have a cheek. My name is Ned Ned Trainer to be precise Laugh if you like, I will still think you're nice." "I would like to know your name If you feel you are able." Taking a deep breath she said "My name is Hortense Stable."
