Miss Claire’s Secret


The large mare came trotting towards the old cellar
Many thought the rider was a fella
But the rider had a secret to share
The mysterious one they called Black Pete was actually Miss Claire


She lifted her hand to the hat on her head
Out came a large flow of hair that was red


“Get her” they yelled
“Liar” they called
as a whip went crack
All they could see was the dust at her back.
