My Pony

I had a cat~I had a dog, I really wanted a little pony. I had a pony storybook, I had Ben my tan and cream stuffed pony. Going shopping one day, there was Ben my tan and cream pony waiting just for me. Can I ride him~can I~can I, I cried to my mom. I climb upon his back, mom put in a quarter for my ride. I was so very happy, tears were running down my little checks. Happily I was ridding Ben my little tan and cream pony, my dreams had come true.

Thanks for writing. Glad you like this pony write. These rides have been around forever outside stores. There is still one outside of a store I go to. Kids love to ride these metal ponies and go round and round. Years ago they were a dime now a quarter for a short ride. Have a blessed day....................

I remember these small rides in our mall, but that seems years ago. Somewhere along the way they disappeared...Delice

This is a sweet one and brings back memories of when I was small and used to beg for a pony for Christmas every year. Loved it. God Bless, JB

Not a true story, but would be for so many, Paula. Your sentiment comes through here so well, as does the poetry.
