PEGASUS

FOR THE TEAM GB PRINCESS, ZARA TINDALL

There is no space with my running nose

for those who wish to quit

if you run with me down paddock yore

you will find I have wings to flit

 

If you wanna win and pass the post

with little room to spare

my nose will see you in the clear

with a white line clearly there.

 

There are horses and there are mares

but none can leave the earth

this is the time of lucifer

a time of need and re-birth

 

So fly with me my hooves unclad

my mane all tangled with wind

I want to see you in the nude

riding my bareback across the sound.
