A stable is a building in which livestock, especially horses, are kept. It most commonly means a building that is divided into separate stalls for individual animals. There are many different types of stables in use today; the American-style barn, for instance, is a large barn with a door at each end and individual stalls inside or free-standing stables with top and bottom-opening doors. The term "stable" is also used to describe a group of animals kept by one owner, regardless of housing or location.
The exterior design of a stable can vary widely, based on climate, building materials, historical period and cultural styles of architecture. A wide range of building materials can be used, including masonry (bricks or stone), wood and steel. Stables can range widely in size, from a small building housing one or two animals to facilities at agricultural shows or race tracks that can house hundreds of animals.
The stable is typically historically the second-oldest building type on the farm. Free-standing stables began to be built from the 16th century. They were well built and placed near the house due to the value that the horses had as draught animals. High-status examples could have plastered ceilings to prevent dust falling through into the horses’ eyes. Relatively few examples survive of complete interiors (i.e. with stalls, mangers and feed racks) from the mid-19th century or earlier.
Stable cause he had a good job
Quiet, wasn't fond of small talk
was the kind of guy who'd eat his lunch alone
on the weekends he would always be at home
Doing god knows what if god had only known
Mail order and he ordered one to go
BRINGING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION TO AN OFFICE DOWNTOWN
KILLING 23 PEOPLE AT A HALF PAST NOON
SAID HE WAS SORRY AS IF IT WOULD HELP
AND THE SPOTLIGHT'S IN HIS FACE
GONNA NOTICE HIM NOW
Stable cause she had a good job
labeled all american mom
Bright and early Monday morning on her way
Gotta work got to get some money saved
Sipping coffee, sorting boxes, and her fate
Package opened reading "have a nice day"
BRINGING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION TO AN OFFICE DOWNTOWN
KILLING 23 PEOPLE AT A HALF PAST NOON
AND NOW THERE'S A ROCK WITH HER NAME ON A PLAQUE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARK
GONNA NOTICE HER NOW
There is this old familiar sound
Don't know exactly what it is but it's a part of me
And now it's getting very loud
