Farm Rivalry – A Short Horse Western
Hold your horses shushed the horse whisperer
at the gate
there are stories to be shared from the horse you rode in on
that one has secrets ya know,
no, ya don’t, do ya
you’re a horse of a different color
ain’t ya
maybe even sent from Troy’s farm
To gain entrance to our barn
to learn secrets of the hay
enough to choke a horse
and then bolt away
before the stable door is closed too late
.
Ya may think we have no horse sense
in this one-horse farm easily fooled
schooled
to which we whinny “horse hockey!”
“horse feathers!”
we know you feel your own pack is the heaviest
wanting ease instead
nothing more than to drive a coach right through our
well earned hay
and take our way
but,
and this is straight from the horse’s mouth,
we will not be taken in, led away by bridled hand
and even wild brethren couldn’t drive us off our land
and any stalking horse that you have at hoof
will have backed wrong
this ill-conceived horse opera as proof
