I gotta horse! as that African chief used to yell out atracemeetings. I gotta horse! It may not be the fastest in the race but at least it's mine. Has anyone else used the given line AT THE END?

Be Kind

Be kind to God’s cuddlesome creatures
With their furry, agreeable features,
Their eager, affectionate eyes
And their dainty, diminutive size.
The squirrel, the mouse and the bunny,
Are docile, delightful and funny:
They will neither disgust nor offend;
You can look upon each as a friend.

But affection would be a mistake
In the case of the venomous snake,
Or the rabid and rancorous fox,
Or the sullen, malodorous ox,
Or the filthy, disease-ridden rat,
Or the hideous, bloodsucking bat,
And will strike you as purely prepocerous
Whenever you see a rhinoceros.
