I was walking around when I noticed a bird

the bird look and me

and then took a turd.

I stepped in the turd, and cried out in pain

for the turd had gotten on my new horse reins

my horse,

he cried out in shock.

Dear Tav did not like his things littered

or mocked.

I tried to pet Tav,

and kissed his horse neck.

I put the turd reins,

onto dear Tav.

He did not enjoy it,

but I had found peace at last
