Yea or Nay

Y is for … Yea … Yoke ... Yell ... and Yesterday.

Yea or Nay

A filly who loved a good fight

Got hitched to a heel just for spite.

But that heavy yoke

Was never a joke,

So maybe her family was right.

He’d bicker and bellow and bray,

With never a sure “Yea” or “Nay.”

Unbridled, he kicked;

He pecked and he picked

And drove everybody away.

She wrestled with worries for years

And bathed in her barrels of tears.

Till one day she bucked,

Then packed up and trucked

And left with her laugh in his ears.
