Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Horsey Type Grin

Have you ever seen a horsey grin
They've got humongous amounts of teeth
Their dentist bill must be atrocious
It's almost beyond belief

Whenever they get a toothache
They feel it right down to their hoofs
You can hear their screams over in China
They just about hit the roof
 
Really feel sorry for these equine types
They're usually such amiable sorts
They never complain if you're 300 pounds
They're such amazing good sports

Named him “Toothy”, this friend of mine
Tell him, “Brush those dentures real good!”
The cost of a plate of false teeth for horsies
Is astronomical in all likelihood

Carol Eastman February 4, 2013 at 8:28 AM I had horses when my Hubby was dating me... One complained when he got on and brushed him off on a tree... Then my Hubby jumped on over from behind... The horse deliberately moved... OWWW! They were both complaining before they were thru... I married him any way... Then he stopped riding... Wonder why? Jack Ellison February 6, 2013 at 8:42 AM YIKES! I can certainly understand hubby's feelings... OUCH! Sure glad it didn't stop you guys from a lifetime of happies! Love and big big hugs! xoxoxox
