Decipher all these clues and then together they should tie To help you solve the question which, of course, is "what am I?

Solution

If you answered "horse" then you're quite clever, very shrewd, For to look a gift horse in the mouth is very, very rude! Though I may (or not) be thirsty it's a well known thing, I think, That you can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink, And though you might be famished, I don't think you mean a word In saying, "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," it's quite absurd!
