Lead A Horse

You can lead a horse to water,

but you cannot make her drink.

She is just a simple trotter.

Plead to one for her own life,

ignores you and then walks away.
Argument just brings you strife.

No matter how you try, you fail,

to motivate the proper course.

Debating is to no avail.

Beat your head against the wall,

some just never learn.

Wisdom you cannot install.

You can lead a horse to water,

but you cannot make her think.

Reasonableness is such a bother.
