Thursday's Things In A Row...

Pat has caused my addiction,
by creating this weekly theme.
Hop on the Rows wagon
and join the team!
Speaking of teams,
you'll need some shoes,
rows and rows, like age fourteens do.
When the weather's hot
 or when it's cold
DP's my drink,
 I can't let go.
Rows of admissions,
rows of pills,
camera's not wide enough
for the row of bills.
A row of tractor tracks,
always At The Farm,
need the equipment
but sometimes, they do harm.
A row of faded ribbons
from past horse shows,
Will I ever show again,
Who knows?

Oh, my friend, Pat,
to thee I tip my hat.
Your creation is my downfall,
you're stuck with me, rows and all.

The Fair


We washed, clipped, brushed
'Til our bodies said, "No more"!
We walked and trotted
And tried to stand still
We declared them ready.


Colors matched horses with handlers
You could smell the tension
Over our minted breaths
Numbers were called
And we walked to public death.


Quaking inside
The training overcame
While we romanced the judge
The horses smiled
And we picked up our feet.


The microphone echoed
We held our breath
Numbers floating on air
Turned into blue and purple ribbons
that said we were the best!!
