The Jockey

I refuse to beat a dead horse. In fact, I refuse to beat much of anything unless it involves eggs....

This horse is obviously dead, and I am going to walk away from it. I will not give it a funeral, I will not ask God, "Why?? Why did you have to take it from me???" I will not prepare an emotional eulogy in its memory. I will not blame myself. And I will not miss it, or spend any more time thinking about it. After all, how can you miss a horse you were never able to ride?

I take that back... I rode the horse way too quickly, and that is precisely what was the problem. The horse stopped and kicked the bucket, and I went flying head-first into the mud. It happened so fast, I barely knew what had gone wrong. Never start with a gallop... always a trot. A new horse can't take it that fast... No matter how well you think you ride.

No, I will not beat a dead horse. There are just too many stallions in this world...-M
