Jingle bells

In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring

He who digs a pit for the horse of another man, will find his own horse's neck broken there.

If one person calls you a horse, laugh at him. If a second person calls you a horse, think about it.
