Czech Parade Horses

Many folks set proudly in costume
Upon their handsome horse
Putting us into another century
It’s the Czech parade, of course

A deep chocolate brown
A Palomino all golden and tall
Paints as well were collected
And, folks, that’s not even all

They all stood for the camera
Decorated brightly too
Like jewelry on a model
Spruced up for me and you

A white horse standing proudly
But he never would have reared
He matched his owner delightfully
Who had a great snow white beard

One horse had a lady riding
He stood tall and didn’t slump
But the funny thing about it was
There was a tablecloth on his rump

A lot of preparations were involved
Put through a regimented course
But we just loved every single
Gorgeous Czech parade horse!
