Man of....

Did you finish the title in your mind?

Man of the house?

Man of distinction?

Man of the hour?

Man o' War?

How about

Man of La Mancha?

In high school I had the opportunity to see 

The Man of La Mancha off Broadway.

I loved it.

I loved the story.

I loved the music.

To this day you can sometimes hear me singing tunes from the show.

My BFF and I once entered a dress-up class as 

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

We sang "The Man of La Mancha" duet 

as we walked and trotted around the arena.

Seeing this picture...

Buck, sitting tall on his big, stately steed

and

Isaac on the little gray Mustang

And They're Off

The horses believed

It was the first day of fall.

They'd had just enough

Of standing in stalls.

They wanted to get out

In the cool morning air.

Out to the pasture

With nary a care.

So hurry up, please,

Get the gate open, quick.

And off we will gallop

With a buck and a kick!
