HN Classifieds: ‘Beautiful Dapple Grey Horse – $300′
There’s nothing wrong with this ad copy–truly, “Muffin” appears to be a beautiful dapple grey horse. But the picture of the kid riding her creeps us out a little.

Muffin does not look too enthusiastic about her rider. Those are not “listening” ears, they’re cranky ears.
Please lighten up. The family doesn’t want the kid’s face in public; so what? The horse’s ears are not wear someone wants them; so what? If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nuthin’ at all.
Et tu, anon?
I had the great pleasure of heiarng Fiona read this very poem on Wednesday last week here in Dunedin at an Upfront Poetry reading event at the library where she was guest reader. She gave a stunning reading, we were over the moon. And she’s going to be our Burns Fellow next year – yay!Thanks for posting this poem Harvey.
