Sunday Muse # 147


 


 

there was only one horse

the big one

took ages to make


we were counting on

their greed and stupidity

 it was very cramped in there

high summer and soldiers feet

not an ideal combination


when  they hauled us in through the gates

 we knew victory was ours


happened thousands of years ago

and they are still telling everyone

to beware of us bearing gifts

 

Sore Losers !

  2. Ha, this made me smile. So nice to read you, Rall. I have been distracted by moving into seniors' housing, and am just emerging from a plethora of boxes. LOL.
