Me! ? Poem by Denis Martindale

ME! ?
:
What? You want me to do that?
You couldn't afford the danger money!
I'm not getting on that horse!
He doesn't like me.
Find me another horse.
There's got to be a better horse than him.
Have you seen the way he looks at me?
I offered him a carrot and he nearly bit my thumb off.
You can't kid me that he likes me.
I don't care what his name is.
Gentle Joey he ain't…
Go on, you try to put the saddle on him.
I'll stand over here. I'll video this for YouTube.
Let's see how many views I get!
I'm not getting on that horse!
He doesn't like me!
