If people were ponies

If people were ponies
Bedrooms become stables
Males sleep in dormitories
Inadequate males castrated
Best males “papered”.
Best mares mated.

Best gals their trainers
Guys strengthened, stretched, stimulated
dressed, nurtured,
never berated.

Playtime paddocks
Kicking their heels
Scratching their backs
Testing their mates
Freedom confined
This is the pact.

Meanwhile she
Learns all she can
In her quest
To improve her man.

Controlling herself
Moving with ease
Creative, energetic
Thank you and please.

Developing herself
Developing him
Partners for life
This is her aim.

Could people be ponies?
