Suite Equestria

Lyrics

Whenever Man began to tame the horse He had himself a potent power source For draft and riding, horses were supreme From two to three and more they made a team The dog was not his only friend of course He knew he had another in the horse But he would come to cast his friend aside In favour of a motor-driven ride The Incas had no wheel. The Aztecs had no wheel The Mayas had no wheel on which to reel Before thе wheelers came to wage thе war they won The Aborigines had need of none The Natives knew the year the Norsemen would appear To rediscover half a hemisphere The horse had always been, the horse would always be The safer source of Man's mobility The horseless carriage came to take him for a spin On carriage ways and means to do him in On fossil fuel the engine up and ran Ostensibly the bosom friend of Man In serving Man the motor came to be The Master, even Man began to see If pride preceds a fall it's time he fell For horses who have ever served him well A toiler and a spoiler all in one The engine had its day, whose day is done
