Isn't it so weird,
The taste of that pony beer?
"But you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth
Even if you have some fear!"
Said the horse before; it had an aneurysm,
What a sad collision.
The stress caused from
Too much liquid and lots of tourism.
Locked in his cage
Was a sailfish with a gauge
Who tried to stop the next unlucky horse
Who said he was of legal age.
The temptations held a dog's chains
And caught the horse by the reins,
Showed the dog discovered dogbane
That killed the dog without a name.
The horse was sad,
But the sailfish and cat
Were comforting him
In hopes he wouldn't go mad.
Then the cat saw what seemed a chiffon ball,
Through the window of the house in the hall,
And she crawled through the ledge to see,
But as the story goes, there were unanswered cat calls.
This was the final straw,
For the horse had seen it all;
Except for the effects of that pony beer
Which gave him his last hurrah.
And the sad sailfish shook his head,
He was filled with pity, for the horse lay dead.
And so did the dog, not to mention the cat,
All because curiosity spread.
