Crazy Horse Runs for President

Claims ungulates need more rights,

They should get their turn to ride,

Better food!

Spurs outlawed!

(Ok, fine)

But he goes too far:

Overtime pay!

Designer style in footgear!

(Prada nailed over the door?)

Leather? No!

No lamb or mutton!

And no Jamaica food!

That really gets my goat.

Crazy Horse Runs for President


Claims ungulates need more rights,
They should get their turn to ride,
Better food!
Spurs outlawed!
(Ok, fne)
But he goes too far:
Overtime pay!
Designer style in footgear!
(Prada nailed over the door?)
Leather? No!
No lamb or mutton!
And no Jamaican food!
That really gets my goat.

Horse-radish Sandwich

When the munchies come to call,

I’ll eat anything at all,

But my very favorite dish,

Is a horse-radish sand-a-wich.

I love to nosh on lady fingers,

Cos their fancy flavor lingers,

On a cruder plane or not,

Corn dogs really hit the spot,

But when I’m King I will decree,

Horse-radish sandwiches for me!

Hot dogs are a fave of mine,

Although I hate the fur,

And for catfish oft I pine,

Specially when they purr,

Still my favorite dish of all,

Horse-radish sandwich has it all!

What I’ll readily admit is,

I think by now you’ve guessed it,

What I love the most is,

A tasty, furry, maned and curried,

horse-

radish

sandwich!

GM Steed

Centipede, the 40-legged horse, raced up the cliff. Jones, white-knuckled, squinted into the wind. They were topside in moments. The Count raised his … Centipede’s vorpel mandibles snicker-snacked; blood and a mustachioed head arced. Jones wiped his face.

“Dammit, Centipede, I needed to talk to him!”

“Sssorry.”
