Horsing Around

A filly by the name of "Woe"
Never once won Win, Place, nor Show
The day she was bought
She was hot to trot
But went nuts from shouts of "Go! Whoa!"

"Go Who" would not be something to say to any horse! Your limericks are on fire.

Santa Anita alone had over 40 horses that had to be euthanized from brutal conditions, 2019." Most unsettling! This is very interesting to me Rico; you make me see things a very different way. Your making sense to me.

Just imagine how many Ukranian refugees could be nourished by 40-horses, but the cattle industry lobbied Congress to ban the consumption of horsemeat (which is superior to beef), so it can not be consumed nor exported, but Members of Congress can fly in helicopters to shoot at herds of wild mustangs leaving the carcasses for wolves, coyotes and vultures, hence an horse named "Woe"!
