If horses and humans took marriage vows…

Last summer, I remember Maddie and Zoey bringing bunches of grass to Peanut and Wallie and asking the ponies to marry them. I wish I had had a video camera. This morning, I woke up and this poem of sorts was in my head:
If you must spur, spur yourself to learn more.
If you must kick, kick a bad habit.
If you must rush, rush to my side.
If you must pull, pull off a smile.
If you must strike, strike hands with me.
If you must hit, hit up a friend for suggestions.
If you must fight, fight your fears and your pride.
If you must lean, lean over backwards for me.
If you must hurry, hurry back to see me.

Please share with your friends, but be sure to credit me!
Here are some variations:
If you must kick, kick off to a new start.
If you must strike, strike up a conversation with me.
If you must hit, hit up a friend up for suggestions.
If you must hurry, hurry back again.
If you must whip, whip yourself into shape.
If you must fight, fight down your pride.
If you must kick, let’s kick up our heels.
If you must hurry, hurry back tomorrow.
If you must strike, strike it rich.
If you must yank, yank my chain.
If you must hurry, hurry down to the feed store.
If you must lash, lash down the tarp on my hay.
If you must spur, make it a spur of the moment cookie.
If you must whip, whip me up something special.
If you must kick, let’s kick ass.
If you must fight, fight for our friendship.
If you must kick, kick back and relax with me.
If you must whip, whip off my saddle.
If you must fight, fight ignorance.
If you must fight, fight animal cruelty.
