Headless Horse.

Headless Horse

How would you like to buy
this very nice headless horse I have here?
He gets under bridges that are none too high!
He can haul just as much gear
as a horse which has a head.
And you can see yourself he isn’t dead!
He simply has no head, nor neck.
But for what the heck
do you really need a horse’s neck?
And just think, he has no teeth
with which to bite you or your kin.
What a giant relief!
You will thank me when
you’re loading your new headless horse in
to a very short barn or transport cart.
A headless horse is just more economical
and while some may find it comical
eventually you’ll see, it’s very smart!

Headless Horse (Reprise).

Headless Horse (Reprise)
by james bezerra

It is not my responsibility
that your headless horse died!
When you buy a headless horsey,
the elevated risk of death is implied.
Just because I sold it,
doesn’t mean I guaranteed it!
You are the nitwit
who believed that a horse with no head
would not soon be dead.
