A Horse Story

Horse Story 
Whatever you do a horse will not be accepted in 
bar or an inn, our horse after hours of ploughing soil
was give beer to drink, this because the home made 
beer the farmer had brewed wasn’t any god.
The horse drank deeply but after a rest it got truculent 
and refused the harness, The farmer gave it more
beer to mollify the horse, but no this was a day when
it said no. The horse trotted to the nearest town 
found an inn and asked for a beer, deep silence, drinkers 
joined AA, no good for business the innkeeper called 
the police and got a the horse back to the farm where it
 had to sober up in a field tied to a tree, and the farmer
 had to pay a fine for giving alcohol to an animal
