Ride a painted pony
Ride a painted pony
catch the wind, hang on tightThe pony does his best
to give you a nice ride
Ride a painted pony
He'll take you where you want
Wherever you want to go
Up town, down town, or home
Ride a painted pony
You'll get to know him well
Perhaps the best friend yet
Feel his kiss slobber filled
Ride a painted pony
Some are painted colors
you've not dreamed, red, blue, green
This horse goes round and round
Ride a painted pony
Some will ride theirs to school
Really nice show and tell
Kids will love him, covet
Ride a painted pony
You will out live him sure
That's the plan God has set
Makes us love our pet more

My Grandmother took a cart and pony to elementary school in 1897ish ... I had a pony growing up. Lovely memories

Something in your poem reminds me of a song that was around when I was young.. Or maybe it reminds me of how much I liked riding painted ponies.
ReplyDeleteOh I love ponies and riding them! There was one pony my cousin had, Tiny, we rode that pony all over the farm he was a good pony. He did bite sometimes and once in awhile step on our toes. Hugs!

They come in all shades of colors. This is reminiscent of the joys of painting and drawing!
