For Sale

FOR SALE
Beautiful paint stallion
Lookin to sell
What I really gave for him
I'll never tell

Ain't been broke
But will make a heck of a ride
Though it didn't go well
The one time I tried

Calm and sweet
Quiet and sensible
Except when you pen him up
He's not really fence - able

Would make a GREAT jump horse
He's got a heck of a stride
Damn near cleared the fence
And it's almost three feet high

SUPER barrel prospect 
This sucker can turn and fly
Especially to the feed room
That's one barrel he'll never go by

He would make a FANTASTIC trail horse
He just loves livin outside
Though the one time he saw a deer
I thought he might lose his mind

He's covered all my mares
Have several of his babies
Maybe it's the inbreeding 
But most look like they've got scabies

Come on down and have a look
You can pet him with a stick
Best to keep your distance 
He's been known to bite and kick 

Don't miss this chance
To own the most gorgeous horse around
Although after his fight with the mountain lion
I can't really guarantee him sound

On sale just for today
Really needin to make a buck
If you ain't got no cash
I'd settle for a brand new truck
