The stallion was fearless in battle, charging headlong into the fray. The only thing that scared the bejesus out of him was that with one slip of the saber, and The Charging Chasseur could turn him into a gelding.

/// On its hind legs his horse starts to veer,
but The Charging Chasseur shows no fear.
Swivels round looking back.
Flees the foe’s fierce attack,
charging, in full retreat, to the rear.

The chap in the shaggy chapeau/
Is French- as you probably know/
By his Emp’ror employed/
To keep Germans annoyed/
But that was a long time ago…///
Of the future he has not a clue/
(He thinks “Blücher is some kind of shoe)/
But he’d surely be blue/
If he only knew/
What happened in World War Two..

maybe I could just cut off the part of the tail with poop on it.
