My Poetry

'APPALOOSA'

JUST WHY DID I CHOOSE A
OLE APPALOOSA
AN OBLIGIN' PAINT
HE AIN'T!
HE'S MEAN AND BONY
A NO-ACCOUNT PONY
AND DO MY BIDDIN'
HE CAIN'T

HE DON'T CARE FOR OTHERS
SISTERS, OR BROTHERS
HE'LL GIVE EM A BITE
AND A KICK....
HIS COAT AIN'T GLOSSY
AND HE'S KINDA BOSSY
FOLK EVEN SAY
HE'S PLAIN THICK

BUT I KNOW HE'S SMART
COS HE WON'T PULL A CART
OR WALK IN LINE LIKE THE REST
AND GUESS WHO'S FIRST THERE
FOR SOME CUTE LITTLE MARE
RECKON YOU'D CALL HIM A PEST

AND HE'S NO QUITTER
THIS ORNERY CRITTER
WE GET BY NONETHELESS
THAT'S WHY I NEED HIM
TEND HIM AND FEED HIM
I RESPECT HIS OPINION

I GUESS!
