HORSE SENSE

Nancy's Notes πŸ–ŠοΈβ™¬

What does this picture inspire you to write? Another challenge from my friends at “What Do You See?”.

β€œHey, Charlie! Phil! Get a load of these jackasses!” neighed Daryl as he stared over the fence onto the country road. β€œDo they really think they’re capable of winning a race? On two legs?? This takes the cake!”

β€œDaryl, I’m pretty sure they’re not actual jackasses” whinnied Charlie. β€œThey just look like jackasses!”

Phil kicked up his back legs and snickered loudly. Tossing back his glossy black hair, he gave out a hearty laugh. β€œThat was hysterical, Charlie! ’They just look like jackasses!’ Absolutely priceless!”

β€œWell, they’re sure acting like jackasses! What the heck are they doing?” asked Daryl.

β€œThey’re jogging – people run around all bandy-legged with arms flailing getting all sweaty going nowhere in particular and looking pretty dumb while doing it.” Charlie explained.

Phil trotted over. β€œYeah. I read about these idiots in Horse Beautiful. It’s some kind of craze, far as I can tell .. some sort of asinine exercise routine.”

β€œYeah” agreed Charlie. β€œWhat a total waste of time! And there’s even more of them running around the city.”

β€œOMG!” laughed Daryl loudly. β€œCheck out these two in their matching his-and-hers outfits. Look at the shape they’re in! They gotta weigh 600 pounds combined. Can you imagine them riding us? Oh, my aching back! My screaming knees!”

β€œWhoa, whoa, whoa! Look at what we got here, boys. Now that’s some fine-looking little filly!” exclaimed Phil as he moseyed nearer to the fence. “Oh yeah. I’d like to see her in a wet t-shirt contest!’

β€œShe sure is something else, alright” Charlie agreed. β€œCheck out those tiny shorts she’s wearing. She can ride me bareback any time she wants!”

β€œMan, now that’s one stacked number! I could watch her jog and bounce around all day!” Daryl smacked his lips.

β€œHey! What are you three flea bags doing all this way from the barn? Farmer Brown’s gonna have a cow if he hears you jumped the fence again!” It was Barkley, the yellow lab who lived on the ranch. β€œBest get yourselves back home before someone notices you’re gone. C’mon! Giddy-up!”

β€œRace ya!” snorted Phil and the trio took off leaving Barkley in their dust.”

β€œBunch of jackasses!” Barkley yowled indignantly. “Well, good riddance to them and woof to you, sexy lady. You jog by here often? Have I got a bone for you!”

    1. Thanks, Cin!! I thought ‘wouldn’t it be interesting to see what animals think about humans?’ and this was the result. Just horsing around, you might say! I had a lot of fun writing this and glad to see you enjoyed reading it. Thanks so much, girlfriend. I appreciate you! And who doesn’t love Mr Ed??? 🀣 ❣️ πŸ₯³ 🐎

    1. Thanks, Nick. Over the years I’ve come to the conclusion that animals are an endless source of entertainment, especially when they’re being raunchy! Lol! I had fun with this one and glad you enjoyed reading it. Thanks for your comments.

    1. Thanks, Diane. I think we all can relate to Mr. Ed in one way or another. For me it was the most memorable show and we had a good laugh over it. That was some talented horse lol!! Glad you enjoyed the story!

    1. 🀣 There’s a cartoon show here called Donkey Hodie about a donkey (duh!), her friends and a talking cloud named Clyde. It’s surreal, funny as hell and has great music. We watch sometimes with our granddaughter; it’s like tripping 🀣 πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
