Tiny my pony!

Classicmister

Tiny is my pony's name

He’s eleven hands and very tame

I keep him in a stable near

He’s been mine now for one whole year

I keep his stable clean and neat

And give him oats and hay to eat

Then I take him for a ride

He’s loved by all and much admired

Sometimes we go to pony shows

I’ll brush his coat until it glows

And once we gained a second place

In a cross-country pony race

I wish he’d live as long as me

Although I know this cannot be

And yet we’ll have more times together

In grassy fields and sunny weather.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is a poem I wrote over 50 years ago for my ten year old cousin whose class had been set a project to compose a poem about a favourite pet. My cousin was struggling and sought the help of her older cousin … this is the result. Sadly the teacher did not accept it as being original work claiming that it had been copied from a book or penned by a grownup! How right she was!
