Personal Transformation

I no longer use my head, and have a lengthening face.
I barely belong to the human race.
I don't think it's normal or a matter of course,
that in the fullness of time, I should become a horse.
Yet, if it's come to this, on this strange day,
don't sit there.  Saddle me up and feed me hay.

Why SHOULD Mister Ed and friends like you and me use our heads anymore, what with 'AI For Horses' now available for free with a purchase of any new pair of saddlebags from your local 'Horses Go Whoring" specialty shop?! ~ Wilbur

Haha, don't laugh! AI for Horses is a great idea! We can make millions - billions if we get in on the ground floor. Let's not hesitate - let's put all our money into Horse AI! Heck, they need it as much as us, maybe more!
