My Pony

My pony has four curving hoofs so tiny and so trim,

You’d be surprised to see how fast they trot along with him.

He has a flowing mane and tail, a shining coat of hair,

And when I get upon his back, he takes me everywhere.

He loves to eat the sugar that I bring him in my hand,

He loves to trot and gallop down the street at my command.

He loves to rub his nose against my shoulder, for you see,

I love my pony dearly and I know that he loves me.
