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!
