It's the New Year and The Little Colonel Searches for His Missing Horse

he

Clearly in a daze, the Little Kernel, er Colonel searches high and low for his missing horse.

--Pray tell, are you my horse? 

 -- I'm most definitely not!

Further on up the road, he spots a familiar rump.

--Matilda, my horse!

 

-- [snickering] Your horse is named Matilda?

-- Yes, and she's nothing like you.  She is an albino, like me, as pure and white as snow.

--You're ecru.

--I just yellowed with age.

The Little Colonel walks away dejectedly. 

--Hi!  I'm a wooly mammoth!
