*a 1969 Drama movie's title
I saw a horse,
the other day,
walking on powerlines,
diving into the ocean,
drinking sea water.
It stood on the railway,
facing the train,
that barreled towards it.
I thought the horse,
so tired of defying limits,
would lay down and die
right then and there.
But it stepped onto a rainbow,
and rode into the sky.
Wouldn't you kill to be this horse?
Rising above it's seared
scars,
proving it's will to heavens,
so much they had let it in?
I realize humanity was a born a horse,
that it locked up in a stable,
to haul wagons
until it's back broke.
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!"
Women get a charge off a steed
That understands their basic need
To gallop bareback
And take up the slack
Girls love to come with all due speed!
A starry night, a dark, Kentucky barn.
Who would expect any harm?
The chocolate mare her handsome, manly stallion.
Who knew that night, what would befall them?
That fateful night, he actually asked her for a divorce?
With her hooves, she jumped on his head, of course!
Her stallion passed with such a bloodied fury.
In court, flashed her long eyelids,then came,a not guilty?
After his funeral,a sensuous Philly she met.
As handsome as any queen mare,a Philly could get!
I can hear them in the old barn now,
Wow, sounds like a horsey event, holy cow!

Hop on for the thrill o your life
A bronco might throw you in seconds
But on this ride you'll manage the reins
Though your horse may be a runaway train
You'll go up, you'll come down
You'll for sure bounce around
Will you be able to stay the course?
It depends on how you manage the horse...
Here's a tip for you cowboys out there
For those who've been known to swear
Don't place it all on one horse -- Don't you dare
Go ahead: Buy those stocks ~ Say a prayer!

If I were a horse, what kind would I be?
A raging white stallion so wild and so free,
Leading the herd to new pastures green,
Sinuous, shiny; a sight to be seen!
Handsome and striking; pawing the air
I’d be the desire of every young mare.
No, not a stallion; a stunning paint war horse
Adorned with bold markings and feathers of course.
Only a brave chief could sit me astride,
Into the battle we’d gallop and ride!
We’d ride at high noon and into the night
Striking fear in the hearts of all who dare fight!
Oh, who am I kidding? I’m not of that sort!
I’ve hardly the passion to kick or to snort.
A poor sorrel plough horse is what I would be,
No stranger to rider nor harness; that’s me!
Wearing white socks; the work I’d enjoy.
With a star on my forehead; I’m such a good boy!
sue spread her legs wide
when mounting the wild stallion
oh your smutty mind!

(sorry, Tirzah, I could not do a nice long poem on horses.
I just felt like doing some silly limericks playing off expressions
for horses. Thanks for the inspiration!)
I Hate that Horse
There’s a horse that I so hate to see,
And at night sometimes he visits me.
His attack to my thigh
Makes me think I might die.
That Charly Horse acts horribly!
Horses Have Ears, Ya Know
“I could eat a horse!” hungry bob said
To his friends as he rode his horse, Ned.
Taking it the wrong way,
Ned reared up with a “neigh!”
Bob fell off and got kicked in the head.
Pony Up
“Pony up,” said the seamstress in town
With the new bride’s hand-sewn beaded gown.
But having no dough,
The bride cast her eyes low,
Saying, “Sorry, but my pony is down.”
In Our One Horse Town
We love ostriches. Haven’t you heard?
Yes, it’s true, and I give you my word
Just one old mare lives here.
Had no foals; she is *****.
So each cowboy just rides a bird!
For Tirzah's "A Horse is a Horse of Course" contest
Absorb what you observe as quite absurd,
have fun with wacky wit that's seldom heard.
For instance, watch a shrieking monkey
monkey with a monkey wrench,
or a horse as it hoarsely horses
around with a horseshoe on a bench;
you'll find that, neighing hoarsely,
the monkey will horse around the bench
as noisily as a shrieking shod horse
monkeying with a wrench;
or hear a dog doggedly bark
at dog-eared books about cats,
or see some turtles crane their necks
like cool giraffes wearing straw hats;
in time, the dog will learn to meow,
to stretch its neck, to wear some hats,
as turtles try to bark and read books
about giraffish dogs and cats.
Observe you've just absorbed something absurd,
some wacky words are better read than heard.
