THE BAD RIDER by MOTHER GOOSE

First Line: I HAD A LITTLE PONY / HIS NAME WAS DAPPLE GRAY
Last Line: FOR ALL THE LADY'S HIRE.
Subject(s): ANIMALS; HORSES;
I HAD a little pony,
His name was Dapple Gray;
I lent him to a lady
To ride a mile away.
She whipped him, she slashed him,
She rode him through the mire;
I would not lend my pony now,
For all the lady's hire.
