Slow down your horses, clip clopping
I have only just got to the river
What's with this panting
Galloping and hopping over fences
Neigh with a push on my back to hurry up
And snorts and whinny impatiently
Waiting their rush turn to stampede
If you rush you get rushes
Do horses get rushes
Or turn into hippos as river horses
To muddy the water you would
With rush, to have dirt on your face
Slow down your horses
I have only just got to the river
Refreshing mix of play and seriousness, speed and slowing, horses and hippos, reality and fantasy. May there always be time for this.
