At times......

...it's important to have stamina and speed,
whether by car, plane or a trusty steed;
when that's the case, you may need a good horse,
choose the Arabian, as a matter of course.

Sleek, slim and just a bundle of good looks,
some folks race them, and put bets on the books;
they can run fast, and as a matter of fact, often win,
and sometimes it looks like, they'd do it again.

Usually brown, but there are a variety of color,
this one is roan, bits of white, good for the dollar,
there are some white one, grey and black too,
might be a hard choice, which one is you?

The up-lifted tail is a mark of the breed,
I don't know why, but there must be a need;
maybe way back in horse history,
lies the answer to that mystery.

Just look at the beauty! During a run for fun,
they're ready to go, at the starters gun,
then it's off to the races, how fast they can go,
always right there, win, place or show.

Beautiful horses, or ones built for work,
did you ever notice that not one is a jerk?
People could take a lesson from that,
what's important for us, is under the hat.

Like horses, we're not all the same,
some can run fast, while others are lame,
some take direction, and work with great care,
some are unable, and some don't dare.

It's up to us, yes, you and I,
to treat all the same, that's not a lie,
we shouldn't expect them, to be just like us,
and there's no reason, to point or to fuss.

Enjoy!
