Politician Promises Free Hay, Gets Eaten by Horse
He came in slick with shiny boot,
And claimed, “Free hay for every brute!”
Ma clapped loud, Pa said, “Hmmph,”
Granny just reached for her flask of stuff.
Lou filmed close as crowds drew near,
With horses twitching each greedy ear.
The preacher offered him a prayer,
But warned, “Don’t feed that one back there.”
The mayor smiled and tossed a bale,
Unaware it was his final tale.
Chestnut charged with justice flare,
And swallowed promises and hair.
Now folks recall that campaign trail,
Where horses vote and humans fail.
We kept the sign: “Your hay, your hide,”
Where honesty gets horse-applied.
