If wishes were horses… then if you wished for something really small, like, “I wish we had more jam”, then would that be a really small horse? A wee horse the size of a mouse… and it would make such cute little tapping noises as it trotted across the table.
And if someone wished for something nasty, like “I wish he were dead,” there’d be a clap of thunder and a dark death-coach horse would appear from the billowing clouds. And you’d know it was time to scamper.
But… I wonder if wishes would even be horses these days. I mean, what kind of beggar dreams of pony rides anymore?
Maybe wishes are cars. No wonder there’s a fossil fuel crisis.

well i just rediscovered your blog on my favourites list... and a nice wee suprise it was. :-) thanks for putting a smile on my face today with your horse-thoughts. what do you think a wish-for-a-perfect-woman-to-love-and-be-loved-by horse look like? *sigh*
oh, sorry, rambling in a complete stranger's comment box, do excuse me...
*wanders off*
And you could have chocolate horses, and digital horses, and horses that are very persistent. Horses that aren't quite sure where they're going, horses that are demanding...
Right now I'm wishing for a shetland pony. What kind of horse fits wishing for a horse?
