<< Let Me Teach You
-A touching Equine Poem
When you are tense, let me teach you to relax.
When you are short tempered, let me teach you to be
patient.
When you are short sighted, let me teach you to see.
When you are quick to react, let me teach you to be
thoughtful.
When you are angry, let me teach you to be serene.
When you feel superior, let me teach you to be
respectful.
When you are self absorbed, let me teach you to think
of greater things.
When you are arrogant, let me teach you humility.
When you are lonely, let me be your companion.
When you are tired, let me carry the load.
When you need to learn, let me teach you.
After all, I am your horse.
And now, the REAL story........
When you are tense, let me teach you that there are
lions in the woods, and we need to leave NOW.
When you are short tempered, let me teach you how to
slog around the pasture for an hour before you
can catch me.
When you are short sighted, let me teach you to figure
out where, exactly, in 40 acres I am hiding.
When you are quick to react let me teach you that
herbivore's kick MUCH faster than omnivores.
When you are angry, let me teach you how well I can
stand on my hind feet, because I don't FEEL
like cantering on my right lead today, that's
why.
When you are worried, let me entertain you with my
mystery lameness, GI complaint, and skin
disease.
When you feel superior, let me teach you that, mostly,
you are the maid service.
When you are self-absorbed let me teach you to PAY
ATTENTION. I TOLD you about those lions in
the woods.
When you are arrogant, let me teach you what 800 lbs of
YAHOO-let's-go distance horse can do when suitably
inspired.
When you are lonely, let me be your companion.
Let's do lunch. Also, breakfast and dinner.
When you are tired, don't forget the 1000 lbs of hay
that needs to be unloaded.
When you are feeling financially secure, let me teach
you the meaning of
"Veterinary Services, additional".
When you need to learn, hang around, bud.
I'll learn ya.
