They called him Plucky He was a silly little thing Chasing the Jennies Left to right, right to left Morning to night, night to morning His stubby little tail danced and swayed He knew this was a life of fun Until one day the horsemen arrived They came with whips and spurs And they sang trail songs And yelled loudly and frightened them all Many burrows were captured, with the rope or chased But he dodged them quickly And came face to face He balked and snorted Stomped and brayed And with a huff and a puff He was gone...gone away

Three cheers for Plucky, The one that got away to revel in his life of fun! No one should be caught unless they want to be.
Thanks to yous all!
