Haberdash.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The intolerant wild stallion
had all but given up
Its battle hit him a good en
A bitter type of cup
Scratching the hedges
Splashing the earth
Winning the races
What was it worth
Free though in mind
A Savannah turf
Layed out before him
His teardrops his surf
Whiter the spirit
Higher the jump
No more the whip
No longer the limp
About this poem
Training the mind to follow its instincts.
