Horse Play

Cornered in a vulnerable position; kicked and pummeled into submission. That mad horse had its way, I lay dazed on the hay, but am found in a stable condition.

Ha, ha, ha--you're as clever as ever, Lindsay, which is saying a stable full. I loved every line.

G'day Paul … thanks for reading and commenting. When you wrote stable full, did you mean stable full of horse manure - Merry Christmas Paul - Lindsay

I love great lims, Lindsay, and this is a GREAT one with interesting twists! Thanks for commenting on a couple of my recent writes, especially the one in Memoriam to my late wife. A Merry Olde Christmas to you and your family. PS: Hope you don't live too close the the horrible fires we are hearing about on TV!

Hello Bob … it's always a pleasure to read how your mind is working and that tribute for your late wife was truly moving. The fires are 1500 miles away from us. Our turn usually is in February. I'm pleased you saw the wit in this lim - catch you soon Bob - Lindsay
