  • A White Horse in December

    A beautiful white horse passed me  As I rode along a country lane  Although the rider was anonymous  The creature was quite beautiful  It told me that later in the day  I would make a troubled child very happy

    I am slightly above average height  Not by much but it is noticeable  My face is oval  I have a gentle nose  It flatters me  My complexion is fair  Although I sometimes look pale  I have green and blue eyes  Which look sad depending on my mood My hair colour is undetermined  Cornfield mice slumber in […]
