He Said I Was Delusional. I Nearly Fell Off My Unicorn.




Why does this witty verse make me smile and chuckle at the same time? Does this relate to some aspect of my life? Or do I just see the humor of riding a unicorn in this crazy, out-of-control world we live in?

Think about these three sayings that have been bandied about over the years:
  • ·        Get off your high horse
  • ·        You’ve changed horses in mid-stream
  • ·        Get back on your horse

Isn’t a unicorn a type of horse? I looked up the definition of unicorns in my Merriam-Webster app. It states a unicorn is “A mythical, usually white animal generally depicted with the body and head of a horse with long flowing mane and tail and a single, often spiraled horn in the middle of the forehead.”

Okay, maybe the mythical/spiraled horn takes a unicorn into a whole different realm.  To me it represents a world where there exists a wonderful, loving, safe place to live in and enjoy. Unfortunately, that doesn’t exist in the world in which we currently live.

Where’s a unicorn when you need one? Or maybe we should move in with Puff the Magic Dragon who lives by the sea.

Until the next time…
