Horse

waiting to receive my present.

I was waiting for my present, by the racecourse

When he arrived last, he said “I’m a little hoarse”

I heard it straight from the horse’s mouth

As his head pointed East and his rear end, South

But you don’t look a gift horse in the arse.

(sorry but I can’t use “mouth” twice, can I?)

Author's Note

I know, I know. every now and then I'd come up with something.. ehm.. weird.

You can use mouth twice, but only if you speak out of both sides of your mouth. I suppose that applies to that other part of your anatomy too.
As usual Woody, great work. Mr. Ed used to say, "A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and nobody can talk to a horse of course unless the horses name is the famous Mr. Ed." Gee, I like that TV jingle almost as much as Gilligan's Island. Speaking of which, did you know you can sing Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan's Island. Try it sometime. Be warned, it will ruin the song for you (Amazing Grace)

[Woody]

haha thanks heaps Mike. your reviews are always a riot :)
I'd never heard of Gilligan's Island so I went and listened to it on Youtube. quite funny. as for singing, I'd better not. I'm such a bad singer that if I tried, it'd surely start to rain (French saying).
I'm glad you found this funny.

I think in this case "arse" works way better. As always my friend, thanks for the laugh.

[Woody]

haha that's what I thought. thanks a lot James.

[Abhilash Hegde]

Hahaha.. Ahem! Ahem!
If I need a laugh, your writes just happen to give that to me.
Nice, light hearted, enjoyed reading it, woody!
Thanks

[Woody]

hi Abilash :) thanks for putting up with my silliness, my friend. always a pleasure to see you enjoy my writes.

[Scrap]

Haha...definitely weird but fits you well...and dont change, but i dont need to tell u that. Coz u can take a horse to water but cant......

:P

[Woody]

haha yeah weird's my middle name :)
thanks a bunch Scrap. glad this made you laugh.
incidentally, that horse's still living with me.. not in the biblical sense, of course.

[Roland Petrov]

If his head pointed East and his rear South, that's one twisted horse. At this point I would say that you certainly should look a gift horse in the arse, and don't take him if you see stretch marks.

[Woody]

lol your review is funnier than my poem (and, God knows, my poem is funny haha)
ok I'll check for stretch marks.
thank you for dropping in, my friend.

[Valentine]

Wildly funny. Had to read a bunch before I came to one I had not reviewed before. Valentine

[Woody]

thanks a lot Dear. I've been away for a while. and it's always difficult to get back on track.
I'm always overjoyed to make you, in particular, laugh.
