Dignified, sturdy, solid In all it's equine glory The fact Mike tried to ride it Is quite another story Mike was set to ride the steed Down the beach to have his lunch When the horse grabbed Mike's shirt And then proceeded to just munch The horse stood nearly 16 hands Poor Mike stood five foot two The horse looked down upon him Most tall children looked down too Mike steadied it to get aboard From the left side as he should He got up and grabbed the bridle All was seeming pretty good Mike leaned down to pat it Lost his grip and tumbled down The horse just didn't notice And he peed upon the ground Mike got up and mounted Once again upon the steed He bucked up once and threw him Mike thought he must be off his feed The troop of trail ride horses Made their way along the beach Mikes horse went on riderless It was now far out of reach Mike went back to the hotel desk Called a cab to beat them all He was not to be outdone Just because he'd taken one small fall He met them at the barbeque The horses stood out in the field Mike would eat his lunch and then He'd make this **** horse yield He came with a nice apple and some sugar as a treat The horse just looked down at him And stamped on both his feet While Mike just stood there steaming The horse ran like a shot The others were all mounted And poor Mike's horse was not It joined up with the others Leaving Mike away in back So, he phoned once more for a taxi And formed a new attack He was **** bound and determined To get upon this horse If not to go out riding But for a picture, why of course.. He met them at the hotel field To get his picture just for pride It didn't matter to him now That he never got to ride He'd show the photo to his friends Of the horse he rode around Never telling him of his great fall And how the horse tossed him to the ground The fact he never rode it Mike now considered moot For the horse stood for the photo And then pooped in Mike's left boot
