You know, I’m just a shade tree horse <br />I think they know it by now <br />When the sun is blistering hot <br />I won’t go in the field like a cow <br /> <br />I’ve tried to make my owner <br />Realize my station in life <br />I’ve sent a message to his kids as well <br />And even to my owner’s wife <br /> <br />I’m special and everyone knows it <br />If they don’t put me in my stall <br />When the weather’s so sweltering <br />There’s my shade tree after all <br /> <br />Then one day the weather will change <br />And winter will come, of course <br />But while the sun is a’blazin’ <br />I’m always the shade tree horse!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shade-tree-horse/
