Milly the painted horse
found in a day’s course
While she spoke with Myrtle
being herself a painted turtle
Relayed as a matter of fact
that she’d recently been attacked
When a bird in the air
down upon her did bear
Attempting to steal her Sady
the sweet little painted baby
Whom upon her back she carry
while Sady was eating a berry
But Myrtle, ever so wise,
then upon little Sady dives
And as it she did tell
the bird bounced off her shell
At which point in her discourse
did Milly the big painted horse
Interrupt her then to say
with a whinny and neigh
“If it ever happens again
call out to me right then
And both of you I’ll shield
from being that birds meal
Because you’ve got a friend
on that you can depend!”
In my painted world alive
as a fantasy that I contrive
By what I found on vacation
that had pricked my imagination!
