Mares turn around
back-to-back,
then kick butt.
Stallions go at it
face-to-face.

(Is this parallel
to the human race?)

I never could understand
why many men seem forever
to want to 'face-off'
an opponent.
Is my lack of understanding
because I was born with
mare-like instincts?
Not that I often kick butt,
mind you,
but in a battle
my guess would be
the rear end takes the hit
more easily.

This is not
a deep philosophical piece,
no arguments or challenges
are anticipated.
But if you should
wish to challenge my assumptions,
it's only fair to warn you,
I have been known
to kick butt.

And take names too I'm sure... Yikes!

Hey no head on here Kacy,
I'm backing it up, real, real,
slooooow.

Sure I like to horse around a bit,
but I'm of stable mind when I have to be.

This poem deserves a gallup poll.

Richy, you crack me up sometimes!
This write was a 'spontaneous combustion' attack, while watching a PBS special on mustangs.

You see the world in such a unique way, Midnitesun! In all the years spent around horses, I've never thought of it this way. Wonderful write and sharp observation of human/horse nature!

Karen enters, grinnin' vertically:

Have a go atter, sistah Kace! Surgery's scheduled anyhow, so I don't see what harm one more kick in the arse can do...in fact, it may be just what I need!



And yanno? I think males butt heads outta mistaken identity!

From your feisty sis (*ahem*) down south?

Dixie, kaile, Di
thanks! I'm delighted you had some reading FUN!
See, sometimes I am toooo serious, and need to 'self-butt-kick' to make it through the week.
Sorry....no photos of this activity are available for posting.

Not EVEN funny. I once got kicked by a stupid horse for feeding her last, the little tramp! LOL!
