Horsing Around

A filly by the name of "Woe" Never once won Win, Place, nor Show The day she was bought She was hot to trot But went nuts from shouts of "Go! Whoa!"

"Go Who" would not be something to say to any horse! Your limericks are on fire.

A change of name, maybe Winny, and perhaps mount her from the left? Aloha! "I must say Santa Anita alone had over 40 horses that had to be euthanized from brutal conditions, 2019." Most unsettling!

This is very interesting to me Rico; you make me see things a very different way. Your making sense to me. Thank God I came back to check on you!

Just imagine how many Ukranian refugees could be nourished by 40-horses, but the cattle industry lobbied Congress to ban the consumption of horsemeat (which is superior to beef), so it can not be consumed nor exported, but Members of Congress can fly in helicopters to shoot at herds of wild mustangs leaving the carcasses for wolves, coyotes and vultures, hence an horse named "Woe"! Aloha!
