ON the third day, God created

All the animals of the earth

To spook the horse

When man was upon his back.

ON the fourth day, God created honest toil

So that man could labor

To pay for the keeping of the horse.

ON the fifth day, God created

The grasses in the field

So that the horse could eat

And man could do an honest day's toil

And clean up after the horse.

ON the sixth day, God created veterinary science

To keep the horse healthy

And man broke.

ON the seventh day, God rested

And said "This is good.

This will teach man humility.

It will tire him out

And keep him striving ever forward

To meet the needs of the horse."
