The Happy Horses
Long ago, when horses first appeared
They were shaking like a leaf, so afeared
A circus man seized the day
And captured each of them, one by one
Locked them up in a cave far away
Felt miserable, a little Stallion
He addressed the other horses and said
that he had a little plan on his head
That was, they would run away when the man is in bed
That night, when the man was asleep
The horses tried to go away so far
But the man woke up and had a peep
and began chasing them with his mouth ajar
The horses ran happily, freely like megs
to prove that they were not eggs
And that's how they got their fast legs
Inspired by Rudyard Kipling.
I wrote this poem for a competition when I was about 11 and I won the first prize.
So, I thought of sharing it here.
