Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 No Laughing Matter

A sore throat the pony has got.

It even hurts to eat some hay,

And is not sure whether or not

The sore throat will just go away.

And so the pony does decide

To have the doctor check it out,

And so goes for a pony ride,

Thinking the doc should know, no doubt.

A thorough exam the doc does do.

When the pony asks the doc why

The pain the pony's going through,

Doc gives the pony this reply,

"I will give you some spray of course,"

"But you are are just a little horse."
