Knot Mine - Part 9 - Horse Code

"I was so young then and a charismatic stud.
"Yes?
"That I was compelled at all times to play about the mud.
"What's wrong with that?
"The other horses made fun of me and called me dirty names¦
"But wearing all that make up will not break your endless shame.
"Not the point! Not the task! Not the endless way! They would boot me up the backside when I was rolling in the hay!
"What happened then?
"They waited for the zebra crossing to be painted wet...rolled me up and down the thing until I could not get¦far away from those bullying eyes, far away from their tragic lies¦
"What then?
"The trick it was on me you see as I was caught by a grounds keeper¦he flicked his emergency beeper¦
The horse begins sobbing,
Karen holds round him head bobbing,
"I was shipped to Africa, mistaken for a zebra.
"Oh you poor thing!
"They thought my name was Deborah!
"It has a certain ring?
But that was not just good enough for this horse of horse,
He clambered through the mountains but got blown off course,
Travelled through a long cave and ended up in this room,
And beyond his black hearted troubles,
He suffers from such gloom
"We are going to get you home!
Soared Karen in vocal chromosome!
