The Horse with no Name

The Horse with no Name

A Poem by Wild Rose

The horse with no name


Yesterday my wife asked "Who are you? should I know you"

 

We have been married for fifty-eight years

 

Lady questioning her (Apparently in order to assess her) asked what day it was

 

There was no reply

 

You MUST know what day it is

 

My answer had her dumbfounded

 

When you have been locked down, just two of us for over a year. Every day the same Rise at seven o'clock every day the same.

 

Today will be as yesterday also tomorrow

 

Find and listen to the Glen Campbell song "The Horse with no name - 'In the desert you forget your name

There is no one there to give you no pain'
