From Mindspillage
A parody. Written in about 5 minutes in the midst of an IRC discussion about whether animals—even talking animals—could be copyright holders.
A horse can't enforce, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, even if the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.
To credit the source, you name the horse
The copyright office just can't endorse
a right to chart the artwork's course.
Not for Mr. Ed.
People litigate up a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never sue except via ASPCA.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one'll paint with his head as force.
You never heard of an artist horse?
Well listen to this. Claim it's yours instead!
