A Horse Ride ...By Colin Moffett

A Horse Ride

Colin, fifty three, went riding
His first time on a horse
And his experience of it
Could not have been worse

It started off all right
As he climbed into the saddle
He held on to the reins
As the wee horse he did straddle

But it started to buck about
And Colin lost control
He went from side to side
Then took a forward roll

His foot caught in the stirrup
As he slid off the horse’s back
And he held on like grim death
With his arms around its neck

The horse it galloped on
As Colin shouted ..Whoa!!!
But never listened to him
And harder it did go

Colin called for his mammy
For he was filled with fear
He struggled to get back in the saddle
As the horse kicked up its rear

Just when he had nearly made it
The horse came to a grinding stop
For the manager came and turned it off
The horse ride outside his shop
