He Ate Like a Horse

Little Teddy was so awfully thin
His poor legs were no wider than a pin
   He ate six meals a day
   Straw, barley, oats and hay
Indigestion made his stomach cave in

You are missing a couple of “I”s hs poor legs and cave n. I’m not sure if it’s on purpose. I do agree, poor Teddy indeed. ;0)

You're certainly right about the i's.. I've been having a problem with my keyboard, and don't always catch the missing 'i's. Just fixed it... Thanks for having my back Richard! Cheers, Gershon

Poor Teddy! It's rough life being a scrawny horse I bet.

Almost as rough as being the 'Tawny Scrawny Lion!' (Little Golden Books story)! Thanks, Line! :) gw
