High on his horse.
RIP
Bernard (Barney) Sheehan
Having gone to the riding school,
to view a horse.
When out from nowhere, came this
sight for my eyes to feast.
I thought that all horses would
generally look much the same.
He was led by what looked like a
midget beside him.
Speaking gently as if they were
old friends, he calmed the beast.
Can you think of anything to stop
him from trying his hand at the other mares he said?
Just to stop him from jumping up
on them.
He is too big for all that
nonsense and his genitals are long since gone.
Well I can say this for him; his
brain is alive even if his balls are dead.
I would also like it very much if
you could school him and calm him for riding so to speak.
So a plan was hatched to quieten
this beast that was walking on all four legs.
But between man and beast there
didn’t seem to be much difference,
So if we calm the beast then both
just might have less cheek.
Well a strap from his head to his
underbelly, will soften his jump.
Put out with his other equine
friends who all looked a little wary.
Tentatively they approached him
yet getting ready to gallop off at a moments notice.
And try he did to mount the first
filly but the strap did its job,
And he was now just a great lump
who failed his jump,
Then something occurred to me
there was a very distinct likeness between man and beast. For nearly every time
the man got close to any young filly, he too tried to mount them,
He couldn’t help but give it a try
and age or height meant he was alive, to all his eyes would let him feast.
So having done just about all
there was to be done for better or worse.
And seeing the hint of joy in the
eyes of, this would be jockey.
I still haven’t figured out if it
be the animal or the jockey that needed the strap,(to keep him in check so to
speak).
Either way all the fillies were
happy, as for the man he was still up on his high horse.
Proof at the ripe age of 73, there
is life in this jockey you can bet,
As he trots round the city, with a
gleam in his wise old eye.
Still watching young fillies, I
wouldn’t bank on any strap holding him back nor keeping him in check just yet.
