Taking a romantic ride today
We sat upon the wagon
Suddenly the horse lifted his tail
And we heard a roaring dragon!

The deafening sound hurt my ears
And the smell burned the hairs in my nose
My girlfriend sat and glared at me
Somehow my fault I suppose.

It was my idea to take the ride
But how was I to know?
It really wasnÂ’t in my plans
DidnÂ’t know the horse would blow.

The noise and the smell were bad enough
As the wind blew quickly by
But I think the very worst of it
Was the brown stuff in my eye.

My girlfriends face turned angry red
So I figured I wouldnÂ’t dare
Advise her of the smelly pieces
Of horse stuff in her hair.

When the horse finally stopped
My girl ran away, stubbornly lifting her chin
I think that horse was enjoying himself
Cause IÂ’m sure I saw him grin.

A lesson learned for me today
Although I must confess
I laughed so hard I nearly cried
As I wiped away the mess.
