I like learning your new vocabulary. Desulture is a new one for me. I love that your poem ended up becoming an allegory and it works to address the political climate as well as the basic level of vaulting horses. Well-done!

The next time I vault from one horse to another, I'll be glad to know that there's a name for this tricky manouevre, Craig. :)
Thanks for teaching me yet another word. I think I've only ever seen "desulture" when watching TV westerns. As in the artwork here, it looks like "desulture" is mainly used to rescue fair maidens.
Well done! I enjoyed reading your poem, Craig.
Cheers,
Connie

I have vaulted from horses on more than one occasion, Connie, but never intentionally :) I'm too old for that now, or the ground has got too hard, one or the other. I couldn't find a western image, that would have been more apt than the circus one, I think. Many thanks for your always lovely reviews :) Craig

Okay, so I'm not sure which I like better: Your clever rhyme to showcase today's word or your disclaimer regarding the government 'shenanigans....! :) :) So, for the complete package, I give an enthusiastic two thumbs up AND a round of applause!! :) :)
Thank you for sharing! ;) Yvette :)
