A 🐎 is a 🐎
of course of course
And no one can talk to a 🐎
of course
That is of course unless the 🐎
is the famous Turin Horse
Go right to the source
and ask the 🐴
He'll give you the answer
that you'll endorse
He's always on a steady course
Talk to Freddy's 🐴
People yakkity-yak a streak
and waste your time of day
But Freddy's 🐴 will never speak
unless he is experiencing
an existential crisis
