I tried on some Wranglers

but it just wasn't to be

There was, one morning 

When I was a teenager, 

a full size plastic horse

at the school bus turnaround 

It was where I got the bus to school

I recognized the horse

"That's the horse that's always in front

of Baughmann's Western Wear in town"

I said to no one

A couple days later it was gone

Back to First Street and Baughmann's

I always identified with that horse

Years later I told that story to a clerk at the store

She said a lady in a wheelchair tried to

steal it last week

The horse is on a wheeled platform

And she tied it to her wheelchair and was headed

down the street
