THE NEW COLT

The flames are orange, yelow and blue
Put more logs on the fire
Make sure everyone cooks a hotdog or two
You can stick your hotdog on the wire

A wolf howls in the dark
The children look at each other
Rover stands his ground and barks
And dad sat listening but there's also mother

She moved closer to them
They went back to roasting marshmellows too
He sat up, grabbed his gun for it was up to him
For this colt when it comes will be new

Dad stepped out and shot up in the air
All the children came running and came in the barn
For the horse knew she was ready to bare
This colt would be number seven on this farm

The children bedded down in hay beds
Mom and dad stayed up till the colt came
Mom made sure they were all fed
Around midnight the colt came and they did the same
