/// The blacksmith puts shoes on a horse
by hammering nails with great force.
True, he could manage to
stick a shoe on with glue,
except for the glue’s equine source.
/// Do you think that the stallion could tell,
with his very acute sense of smell,
that the glue they might use
to affix his horseshoes
had been rendered from his late dam, Belle?
/// This horse was a spy’s message carrier,
who needed to sneak past a barrier.
At the border he trod,
stealthy. Shoddily shod
by that feckless inferior farrier.
/// At the worst time, the horseshoe came loose
and the noises it caused were profuse.
The horse saved the day
limping back from the fray,
thereby saving the spy from the noose.
