Wonder Pony
I had a marvelous life with
Wonder Pony
When I first got him as a
Toddler in
Sopchoppy
I could barely reach his
Springs
And his fierce rocking
Scared me
Eventually he let me sit
Upon his hard plastic
Saddle
My feet upon the wooden
Stirrups
Soon we were riding all out
Dipping nearly to the
Floor
Springing back nearly
Toppling
Wasn't long we were
Leaping lines
Clearing them
Every time
He can still clear them
Sixty years since just like
The first time we did
I outgrew the pony
But not the wonder
Within.
