Whynnims
Here’s a land populated by horses.
These horse people call themselves the Whynnims.
They communicate by tapping their hooves.
Their language used is very much like Dutch.
The inhabitants are peaceful and calm.
In the neighboring hills live the Yahoos.
They are a hairy and primitive cult.
Yahoos do not seem to have a language.
They want to wage war against the Whynnims.
These inhabitants are hostile and cruel.
Here I am stuck between the two parties.
My sympathies go out to the Whynnims.
Based on the novel “Gulliver’s Travels” by Jonathan Swift
