Adventure of Hairy Horses

'What's that travellin' from afar?
Not a bird or boat or plane or car
But a hairy herd of healthy horses
Each one of them a superstar

Some more black
Others more white
A few with colours
Both dark and light

Some call them Romany
Many call them Vanners
When others call them Tinkers
A few say, 'Bad manners!'

Kind and wide Gypsy eyes
Tell a story that never lies
Do I call it a cob, or rather a shire?
Doesn't matter, as long as it's a flyer

look at that fetlock, look at that foot
If that isn't feather, then I am a fruit.
Not quite like Pegasus cos it's wings they 
lack
Or do four on the hooves equal two on the 
back?

A fairyfilly tail flowing
from a dappled apple rear
A silkycolt mane growing
from a neck so dear

 Do you see that mare over there?
 So finely silver she seems to shine
 A buttermilk stallion with cocoa hair!
 Oh dear God, please make him mine!!'Lo
