A fantastic duo quite rare
In no way can these two be square
What makes Jim's heart wilt?
It's Deb who is well built
With C cups that cause men to stare
A very intelligent guy
Jim knows how age to defy
His love Deb he keeps
Only with her he sleeps
Though many he could satisfy
I feel sorry for the dead rat.
It was not an urban or country,
it was a suburban rat; it had a code of behavior.
It never infested, or stole
it strolled these leafy avenues
with a certain rodent pride.
It’s Autumn
and the trees are aflame with
medium income wealth,
the foliage lush
cultivated to be plush.
Yet here under a mighty maple
lies the body of a noble rat;
rigor mortis
cannot hide from our eyes
its once lordly existence.
With my foot,
I cover it with a blanket of
regal red and golden leaves,
as if it were a fallen eminence
of a minor kingdom,
a place where even rats
may claim title
to two or even three car garages.
I missed the deadline for the contest
however
never is it late to write an entry or of horses
the entry below is my dedication to secretariat
in my opinion is and always will be
the notable horse
thank you
"the notable horse"
it matters not no one knows
it matters that all understand
understand you are the best
greater than those before you
superior to those who follow
follow but fall short of
is it seen how you proudly stand
is it known for you are a child
a child with an exceptional soul
I know and understand it all
how you command how you lead
lead us to a world like no other
some say you were born small
others say you rose from the start
the start of birth to victorious reign
overwhelming such thoughts of you
the little horse with a huge heart
a heart who said I think I can and did
to date no other can take the stand
for any such comparison is pale
pale because no other rises as you
stories live with historians and lovers
they shine forever bright with followers
eternally you remain the notable horse

Bullseye, a faithful companion,
Met Woody at a fork in the road.
He's the ultimate horsey champion!
A child's heart is his abode.
The Prospector, Jessie and He
Were going to live forever on display.
Only through clear glass they'd see
Children every day.
What a sad existence!
Bullseye likes his adventures.
It's only through Woody's insistence
That Bullseye's now part of somebody's treasure.
Bullseye is clunky, funky and fun.
He prompts smiles from ear to ear.
He'll happily play in rain, hail and sun
If he knows it will bring cheer!
He's awakened so many imaginations!
Will he be a hero, this time, or a villain?
Will he feature as a talented singing sensation?
Will he drink Ribena by the pool whilst chillin'?
Bullseye can be whatever character you desire.
You can cherish him your whole life through.
He's a toy story that will continue to inspire.
Is he a notable horse to you?
