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. For Robb's contest" Eco-Friendly Vehicle"

The joy of simpler times springs from this write, Joyce. You had me smiling all the way through your lovely rhyme. I, too, wish I could go back in time and use a buggy (and a horse of course) for transportation. With the way gas prices are rising, I'd like to see this as an option. Great entry for Robb's contest, dear, and thanks for commenting on the blog about Karen's book. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn

Loved the poem! It wouldn't bother me if we went back to horse and buggy days I'm ready
