I'll Larn Ya
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 herbivores 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, 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 1200 lbs of YAHOO-let's-go
event 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 600 lbs of grain 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 larn ya.
