“A bird in the hand gathers no moss.”
If gifts were horses, beggars would midstream.
This is inspiring me to go out and find restaurants that serve horse meat even though it's listed as beef on the menu, and stay hydrated. Forward this meme to all your aunts & grandmas. Share the inspiration with others.
So true 🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️🙏🙏

Horse is trying to break out of his frame there
This meme is such a gift that I wouldn't kick in the mouth if ahead of a cart.
Ai slop.
I'd say this is an edit. If I were in the mood to create a word salad shitpost like that then I would totally do something like intentionally letting that ear stick out as well.
Could be an edit, too
With the ear purposefully poking out, and the word salad?
Joke advertisements exist, and that ear sticking out could just be to achieve a 3d effect. No idea what these advertisement companies do these days...

Don’t count your eggs in one basket before there’s plenty of fish spoiling the piece of cake.
I mean, yeah... Who puts fish in cake? That's just silly.

On the Buffverse show 'Angel' Harmony was the dumbest vampire.
At one point she agreed with someone by saying "You're preaching to the horse's mouth."
That phase makes sense if you are the one to originally say something, which is imagine long-living vampires would have to deal with more than usual. Still there are RL examples like that one person who got a rejection for their paper by reviewer two who said they needed to account for the work of [insert name of the researcher who submitted the paper].

You can water a lead horse, but it can't make you a drink.
You can eat a horse, and you water man. Man a eat, and you can day in a horse.
That is some horse (word) play.

Foreigners often have a silent H, so use an because it's a vowel sound. People in the US use an historical too which is dumb because we use the hard h, I say a historical anyway, fucking sheep.
I bet this makes perfect sense to a Newfie.
