Image: Trigger and Buttermilk on
the plains after their escape (here)
The given words:
dizzy unease pallor
laughter convulsion
maim hasten poison lacteal (milky) rustle
maim hasten poison lacteal (milky) rustle
Most unfortunate and most cruel
Trigger tried to calm down Buttermilk
It was still dizzy
and uneasy thinking
of last night’s episode
It was a clever ruse
They made good their escape
But it took its toll
Buttermilk was just as affected
The pallor in
her face was telling
There was no laughter
as was seen before
Buttermilk in convulsion immediately
after but was lucky not maimed or hurt bad
after but was lucky not maimed or hurt bad
Trigger hastened to
think on how to go back
Trigger was now in jitters
It was more worried of Buttermilk’s
condition though

It was not sure if the meal given
before their escape last night was poisoned
before their escape last night was poisoned
Buttermilk was foaming like
lacteal around the mouth
It must be very tired
lacteal around the mouth
It must be very tired
Both were lucky though to make a quick getaway
They managed to outwit the rustlers
They must find a way back home
Roy and Dale must be extremely worried

I am glad they made their escape! Great POV here, Hank.
ReplyDeletefree finally..............
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Hank. Good write!! I knew that harm had come to them, perhaps a dumping like people now (here) dump unwanted or sick pets. Just dump them in a strange neighborhood. Escaping from the rustlers was good though, but now ...
ReplyDeleteEscape was the plan and it came due, now freedom for the two and hopefully greener pastures
ReplyDeleteRoy and Dale would be worried all right!
ReplyDeleteThat Trigger is so smart. I use to watch Roy and Dale - loved them.
ReplyDeleteThis story took me back in time Hank. You used the words so very well.
ReplyDelete… it's an iron clad rule that these old shows have a happy ending. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm crossing my fingers for a safe way home!
ReplyDeleteLovely write! It is just like when I was a kid listening to the Roy Rogers Show (and I too have my fingers crossed that all turns out well for Buttermilk!) ... love the use of the words here! Bastet
ReplyDeleteI am so glad they got away!
ReplyDeletehah, love it. last line actually made me laugh out loud. poison?! could it be?! well done!
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for them!
ReplyDeleteOh, Hank, you had me so worried about the horses from my childhood! Rustlers, though...I'm glad they outwitted them!
