A Stable Relationship
I love thoroughbreds…
I love thoroughbreds
and things equine;
caring for horses
suits me just fine.
The trainer’s a lady
of a certain age,
she is my boss
and pays my wage.
I am her jockey
and have lost count
of the number of times
I mount and dismount.
I have to be skilled
and work very hard.
If I don’t perform
I’ll get my cards.
There’ll come a time
when she has to decide
if she wants a rider
or a bit on the side.

Ooh cheeky 🙂 I have read this several times and aways end up with a smile, so nice to have a ‘feel good brings a smile poem.’ Thank you for lightening the world for a few minutes. Sue.
There is so much gloom around, Sue, that we can do with a smile every now and then.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Ta Trevor. I didn’t want to saddle the readers with metaphors so I made a decision on the hoof to write a simple tale.
