Your Horse of Course
If I had a buggy
and you had a horse,
we’d hitch my buggy
to your horse
of course.
You’d do the driving,
I’d sit by your side.
You’d snap the reins
and I would just ride.
The fuel it would take
would be hay
and grain
the emissions
so healthful
we’d use them
again
as compost for
gardens.
Now isn’t that fine,
your grand stepping horse
and that buggy of mine?
We’d drive up the road
and over the hill.
We wouldn’t mind if
we had a big spill.
We’d wave to the people
passing us by.
You’d say, “Good morning” and
I’d tell them, “Hi”.
We’d be so happy;
just you and I
in my beautiful buggy
with your horse
of course.
