The Mustached Horse

I never thought I would see
Tom Selek meets Mister Ed
is something I would have said
did not exist in this world,
especially colored and curled,
but in Britain lives Alfie
and a mustached horse is he.

  4. @Eric 'Bubba' Alder - Hehehe. He DOES look like he's munching on someone's wig. :)

    @Pat Hatt - Now I want to get him a horn for Halloween. Do you think that would be considered rude or mean?

    @Judy Roney - You're welcome. Thanks for stopping by. :)
