Once Upon a Horse

take that saddle off of me, I'm no mule...

Once Upon a Horse

I used to be a man with two hands

and two stout legs---I miss them sometimes

but I’d rather walk and run on all four limbs,

for I do prefer hooves over dirty hands and smelly

feet. I’d rather whinny as a horse than whine

as a human boss. I like the taste and smell of

grass and the feel of mud beneath my horseshoed

feet. No more bunions or gout that always

made me scream and shout while I lied in bed

wishing I was not living--- but dead. I now live

in a stall and I’m having a ball~ with plenty of hay,

and tons of fun--- that fills my carefree day.

 

It’s just so damn good to be a horse…
