FRAGILE FINERY
A lovely filly, made of glass,
Without question, bonny lass,
Pranced through classes, without par,
Ever graceful superstar.
Leaving others at impasse.
With perfect braids and flexing poll,
She lured the judges to extol
Lovely form and elegance,
Poise and beauty, all at once,
Capturing both heart and soul.
Despite her stunning ways, alas,
This finest filly, Sassafras,
Token flaw, she did possess;
Refinement carried to excess.
For she was made of fragile glass.
