I Want!

To Cara, who wants a horse more than anything else.

Cara likes squid, in various sauces,
And Pimms for a drink, when at the race courses,
She likes yellow cars, soirées with the stars,
But most of all Cara likes horses.

Bangers are one of her faves,
When cooking them she often raves,
About how she'd love, to wear leather gloves,
When riding the horse that she craves.

To get her own horse she needs cash,
It's made her behaviour quite rash,
To find a career, she's taken a steer,
From a slicker named Dan, who is trash.

She went for a job interview,
It was clear that she might need a few,
For someone quite green,
And more used to the Queen,
The experience of bluffing was new.

So Cara's still 'skinto', of course,
She's stuck in her job, with remorse,
She'll message all day,
And then run away,
To dreaming of her perfect horse.
