The Pony


Once 2 is 2,

Here's a pony for you;



Two 2s are 4,

But be careful the more,--



THREE 2s are 6,

For perhaps pony kicks;



FOUR 2s are 8,

And if so we must wait,







FIVE 2s are 10,

Till he's trained by the men;--



Six 2s are 12,

Before trusting ourselves,







SEVEN 2s are 14,

To ride him out sporting;



EIGHT 2s are 16,

But we can be fixing



NINE 2s are 18,

His food while we're waiting;



TEN 2s are 20,

Oh, yes, give him plenty,--



ELEVEN 2s are 22,

For then he will be gentle to--







TWELVE 2s are 24,

Us who feed and pet him more.
