![]() Country mileA Poem by Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)![]() For a laugh![]()
She wore a toffee coloured wig
To the country ball All she wanted was a little swig Or three of that Sweet gin flavoured lemonade There she stood so Meek and mild And wasn’t long before She was asked to dance Her skirts flew up And billowed Like a pony on the dance floor She galloped around a while The men looked in with glee What a pretty filly they could see All the stallions Made their way And brother could she dance that country Mile Before long She needed to graze And graze she did at table fare Egg and cucumber sandwiches Pavlova and strawberry on cream And oysters prawns and beef so rare Wasn’t long Before her wig Had jam and cream Decorated there Her lipstick faded Into the night There she sat A glutton a filly What a sore sight Wasn’t long Before She took his hand As he asked her up to dance Once more He flung her So high up In the air Only problem Her Toffee coloured Wig came down With a thud On his head And he licked Sweet creamy remnants there The filly and the stallion Laughed into the night Never minding her Hairless head He’d found his match That sweet Hot night They galloped into sunset Every night With new wigs he Bought her Every week And she smugly Neighed to all who wished Her well I found my stallion of the night Look no hair have I But come see my room of A hundred wigs My stallion Of the dancing night Who fondles my bald Head every night Bought me these Fair wigs I say all mine Till one day She saw him trying Then all on They looked quite Devine The blonde suits you dear So this is why you bought me these No no my sweet They are all for you But she saw him For who he was A filly in that stallion mind She could no longer live With him And traded him in For a life alone She took most of her wigs To her new home But left him one To remember her by The toffee coloured wig Spoiled with Pavlova and a good splash Of gin For good measure In there © 2025 Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere) |
