A Horse Will Always Run

When all is said and done A horse will always run With sudden fright He's out of sight Both ears pinned Swift as the wind Lurking danger far behind With no thoughts of any kind Flight his only real defense No thought just instinct most intense The donkey can't outrun a foe He stops he thinks he has to know Which of all the best way to go Settle down don’t make a move Prepare to kick might also prove The answer to this situation The author of his own salvation Now a mule a hybrid of horse and ass Best of both a true class half ass Like her father the mule is thinking At those who think her stubborn winking Unlike the horse you can’t command Use a stick a whip or slight of hand Motivation through conversation The only route to cooperation When she decides what’s best for her And what you need both concur She will very happily do your bidding Better than any horse no kidding So Stubborn isn't a real mule trait A thought may make her hesitate But in the end whatever you need Accomplished by this wondrous steed March 2016
