SUBORDINATION

A reticent stallion
With a robust backbone, 
Conversant with
The curves and cliffs of
Taxing expeditions, 
Always drew in 
The best bet …
One could opt for it 
Without too much of
Brainstorming 
And……….
Without causing 
Too many ripples or
Destabilizing Shake-ups
In the resource pool 
At one's disposal
