sister nurse
rounded up the rascals, Ro and Ross
from Precious and Daddy-O
this morning
 from their night of testosterone
that included
roast beef sandwiches
football
and a camp-out in their living room

(THANK YOU sweet LORD for Grandparents :O)

as sister did a u-ey in the drive
after putting the rascals out
she turned
ALARMED
and said
“HEY!!! THERE’S A HORSE CAUGHT IN YOUR SWING SET!!!”

Cowboy Dan and I
peered from the porch
and together
almost in sync said
“we sure do”

sister nurse
(panicked)
“WELL?!!! SHOULDN’T YOU BE IN A HURRY”

CD: “nope, he’ll be fine.”

sister nurse:
(unnerved)
“well…..okay then”
drove away slowly
peering in her rear view
expecting much more of a reaction
than what we gave her

CD turned to me and said
“you might want to get your camera”

I scurried inside
and back out
only to wait

CD was obviously in no hurry..

when he finally did join me in the lot
this is what we found

 Cowboy Dan called
*******POP QUIZ******** 
CD: “if I wasn’t here what would you do?”
me: “call your brother”
CD” no. you’d get a halter. know why?”
me: “to hold him as I untangle him.?”
CD: “yes but there’s another reason.”
me: “hmmm????”
me: “no wait! I KNOW! you put the halter on him to remind him and assure him “hey here’s my friend.. here to help me..?” ” am I right??”
DING! DING! DING!
I got the NOD!!!
I got the NOD!!!!
I got it right!!!!
so…..
 what would you have done????

PS
on the way back to the house
CD: “I think a little more of that horse now than I did before”
me: “huh?  you mean the horse that was just stuck in the swing set?”
CD: “yep. he was standing still….he could have torn the swings down…”
