the Australian Draught Horse, it's 'new' name;
large and muscular, it pulls it's weight,
the plow makes a furrow, neat and straight.
specially chosen to full Australia's need,
working on farms, in the gold mines too,
feet that are large, probably harder to shoe.
Not know for beauty, but for muscle and power,
celebrated now, the flag flies from the tower,
exhibitions are held every year,
many who watch have been known to cheer.
pulling the tools of the past, that we love;
showing their 'stuff', and willing to pair...
...up in harness, a show at the fair.
When the need arises will we show up for view,
play fair and not judge, is that you?
We should always remember the lessons we learn,
"the way of the horse" in our memories burn.
Steadfast and loyal, will to work when required,
is that the way our brain are wired?
Will we be willing and up to the task?
Ready to go and work should a friend ask?
Enjoy your day.
