Okay I thought today to be Wednesday and yesterday was Tuesday and now since my sister has set me right, I now know that my thoughts were not correct. With that said there is no short story posting for today. Instead it is a an odd bit of prose that I submit for your enjoyment. This was written a while ago but it still makes me smile when I read it.
The Rocking Horse
by Joelle Wilson
The Rocking horse
stood off
to on side of the
room never asking
any questions.
It would just rock
back and forth
and forth and back,
to and fro, fro and to.
Day after day
this is how it
lived.
Never asking anything
not one sound
would penetrate forth
from its mouth.
Many people thought
that this was because
it had nothing to say,
or perhaps it was too
afraid to mention any
thoughts it may have.
Some even fancied
that a spell had been
placed upon it so
that it could not speak.
Well,
actually
it’s none of those
things.
The reason why it
never spoke
is really quite plain
and simple,
It’s made of wood.
