Day 11
Prompt: Horses
Form: Limerick
In truth, I know nothing about horse-riding or horses
Except from what I gleaned from the novels of Dick Francis*
But attempt I must something
Thus respond to the prompt, writing
of my love for the author, his bestselling books, I unabashedly endorse!

Limericks are tricky, I love how you pulled the author into it. I never heard of Dick Francis, an author to add to the list. I’ve always enjoyed a good mystery.

They sure are tricky! I have seen horses from afar but I don’t know much about them. At the same time didn’t want to not respond. So I pulled in an author who wrote about horses! Lol
I really enjoyed his novels. If you enjoy good mysteries you must try him.
Thanks a lot, Heather.

I don’t know much about horses, either. But I know of my love of them……and of all animals!
That took me towards volunteering for a stable that aids ex-race-horses from being put to sleep – and what a wonderful experience that was.
