Horse, of Course

a filly
prances about, acts silly;
definitely not a mare
there.

in pasture,
a great joy to run faster;
it’s fun to watch a young colt
bolt.

a hallion
grows up, becomes a stallion.
rascal equine as a child:
wild.

a pony
pretending, never phony,
but in essence, of course:
horse.

----------

a strange form: 3a/7a/7b/1b, with 2-syllable a-rhymes
the name is actually Deibide Baise Fri Toin, and I have no
idea where that comes from
 a 'hallion' is a rascal
