That’s right. As you’re washing your hands, engaging in social distancing and lamenting over the ever-growing list of cancelled and modified equestrian events, it’s important that you find something to put a smile on your face… or at least lighten the mood. As always, Horse Nation is here to serve. So, we bring you our take on Alanis Morissette’s Ironic:
A lame horse finally sound
Entered a show and then COVID-19
It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay
It’s a TP shortage and you don’t know why
Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
It’s like rain on your event day
It’s a show cancelled when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought, it figures
Mr. Colt Starter was ready to show
He packed his trailer up for Road to the Horse
He waited his whole damn life for Lexington
And as the event postponed he thought
“Well, isn’t this nice”
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
It’s like rain on your event day
It’s a show cancelled when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought, it figures
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
COVID-19 in an Olympics year
A “wash your hands” sign with the muck bucket near
It’s like ten thousand rolls when all you need is some soap
It’s planning the trip of my dreams
And the WHO says “Nope”
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think
It’s like rain on your event day
It’s a show cancelled when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought, it figures
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out…
Go riding (after all, your horse isn’t a carrier)!
