Horse’s Plea By William DeForest Halsted IV February 28, 2019

Nay! Master, you jest be on your way, For it’s so early in the day, And I’m eatin’ ma hay, And I really don’t wanna go to town today.

On my back I would have to hold, Your old, heavy, ugly copper mold, Even though ‘tis what I’m told, And I really don’t wanna be sold! Aye? A carrot, you say? And lots of time to play!? Maybe I will come to town today.
