Mona
\nby cricketjeff on May 29, 2009.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nA sip of black coffee and dreams of excesses,
\nA galloping rhythm and wind in her tresses.
\nNot thinking of dances and beautiful dresses,
\nJust life on the back of a horse.<\/p>\n
She’s never been one for a trip on a galleon
\nOr night at the opera sung in Italian.
\nJust give her her head, and a wild chestnut stallion,
\nFar happier riding a horse.<\/p>\n
With wide open skies some would fly in a glider,
\nBut far different movies are playing inside her –
\nA beautiful mare, she’s sat proudly astride her,
\nFor all she desires is a horse.<\/p>\n
Now back in her childhood and playing with Mary,
\nThey’re rounding up cattle and riding the prairie,
\nSix shooters in hand to take down the unwary.
\nIn every daydream there’s a horse.<\/p>\n
Her work’s in a bank, where she’s known as a cutie,
\nShe’s climbing the ladder by doing her duty,
\nBut deep in her heart she is saving Black Beauty!
\nThere’s no point to life with no horse.<\/p>\n
She’s saved every bonus, now she’s a landowner,
\nSits dreaming and drinking ’til he’s time to phone her,
\nThe man from the stables delivering Mona.
\nShe’s finally found her own horse.<\/p>\n
