Stride
Little Timmy in the saddle
Loves to writhe and wriggle
He just won't sit still
Only gallop will fit the bill
When his father says, "Son, slow up."
"Stride is tired, don't make him gallop."
I know I have brought some pleasure
To this child who is at his leisure
Overheard father talk one day
To some friends along the way
He said I sure do like to prance
I prefer to say I dance
I'm allowed a special treat
Whenever Timmy 'n I do meet
Apple or carrot drawn from pocket.
The key in the gate will unlock it
Soon saddle again will be applied
Where to go? He is my guide
I know I will have some fun
For now I know that I can run
