My daughter, who inspired this poem, sent me the photo she generated with the poetry text (now some 12+ after the original publication). The stable's my favorite spot I can walk jump cantor and trot With horse--my friend true I take ribbons of blue For the cost of owning a yacht!

Duke, I got my mind set on a boat. LOL, Since I can't afford a yacht. I mentioned it to my hubby, he laughed at me. He does not understand, how important it is for me to have a Yacht. I like horses too, but I'd rather swim with dolphins in hopes to see jaws one day. LOL. Love the limerick. Thanks for sharing your favorite spot through a limerick. Love SKAT

I SIPPED CHAMPAGNE ON A YACHT AND struted IN MONTE CARLO TO SHOW 'EM WHAT I GOT! horsies are nice, just look in their eyes so i have to like this short yet quiirky poem, which it seems u have a penchant for and i dig 'em.i think i wrote you yesterday to thank you for my poem about giving deer an uzi and make the "sport" fair. u remarked "everyone should be a vegetarian" i am not, i am an omnivore and will eat nothing who has a mother---peace my slightly muddled minded friend..~free cee!~

well, it has to be very satisfying for you, if it isn't cheap. Good limerick, Duke.
