Poem

My life seems to last forever now that I’ve start aging
The sudden onset aches and pains start engaging

My home is in a theme park petting zoo where other animals live and rest
Each day zoo attendants feed, water, and groom us to look our best for our guests

These little creatures called Children come into the petting zoo
With the sounds of ooohs, aaahs of surprise as they walk through

Sheep, goats, rabbits, to feed and interact physically with safety
Some of these little creatures try to chase me, some of us get shaky

A tall creature with a long mane and forelock yells, “Wait a minute baby!”
Is this tall creature going to save me?

 A young pony, a true friend is 7 hands at the wither not as tall as me
Wearing a blanket and saddle for a rider to sit, and bridle to guide in safety

Zoo attendants teach the proper ways to handle animals
while brushing my forelock, poll, croup, and withers

They lift my gaskin the area behind my leg between the stifle and hock pointing to my fetlock explaining that is actually more like the ball of the foot on a human

Naming my coronet where it meets my hoof down to my frog; a highly elastic wedge-shaped mass on the underside of the hoof and supports both locomotion and circulation

When all is done  the attendant extending a hand placing a treat close to my muzzle treating us with love and kindness, as we bubble full of  admiration
