We all know that YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE IT DRINK.
This leads me to ponder, IF YOU DON'T LEAD A HORSE TO WATER WILL IT GO WITHOUT DRINKING? And the snowballing continues. I examine horse society. The rolling thunder of hooves fills my head. I can only hope that they stop to drink. Suddenly there is a calm. They have discovered the reservoir that I hold in case of emergency. It tickles as they lap it up. People stare as I laugh at what seems to be no reason. My guffaw startles the horses and they're up and running again. Oddly enough, 90% of them took off in the same direction. After calming, they return to the same pool. I feel the strays meandering about in the different regions of my mind. They know that they will find the sources that feed that watering hole and be refreshed from a purer, flowing source (If they nose around they may find some left over mushrooms).
Back at the main herd things have changed. Sated, the horses stand about, occasionally returning to drink from the same trough as the others. I notice that they neither whinny or neigh. There is no bucking, just lazing about and sucking it up. But then of course I hear the horse talk. All of them! Was it something in the water? Or possibly it was nothing in the water. Listening more closely I hear nothing but PCCP, pop culture catch phrases. Horse sense? People sense? Non sense? No sense makes sense. Read into this what you will.
As for myself, I eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry. I kick up my hooves when I'm happy, and never, ever knuckle bump. (do you remember when the term knuckle bump meant fighting?)
Got to go. I'm hungry and thirsty. Grazing in the grass is a gas, baby can you dig it. I can dig it, she can dig it, he can dig it. Can you dig it? Can you dig it baby?
