The Hitchin' post blues

It happened one day on the boulevard,
All mornin' long I was workin' hard.
Walked into the street, to see what I could see,
and some ugly guy tied his horse to me.


Looks like I got the hitchin' post blues.

    Ha! Extremely funny, and a tale complete in itself. Congrats on the gold, so well-deserved.

    CONGRATULATIONS on the Gold!

    This is really funny and I think you did a splendid job with the prompt!

    "boulevard" a word seldom I haven't heard for a while and set the scene for a lovely ballad!

    Well done!!

    You must have been standing really still!

    This is the first actual ballad form, refrain and all, that I've read in this contest. Kudos to you. Thanks for entering. cq

    Very clever and made me laugh. Makes a person wonder about takin' up horse thievin' and heading for parts unknown. Cute!

    Very nice poem. :/ To call someone ugly... sorta harsh and ruined the whole flow for me. Other than that, good luck in the contest.
