Little Johnny

Compared to big horses he does look rather small
But to them he does not feel in any way inferior at all
For such a little fellow his neigh is rather loud
With young Belinda on his back he does seem quite proud

A black eight year old Shetland pony in his physical prime
He will never be the hero of song, story and rhyme
A cocky little gelding with ways of his own
And it will not bother Little Johnny that he is not well known

His owner lovely Belinda the the dark haired seven year old
Would not part with Little Johnny for all of the World's gold
Every day she grooms and feeds him her favorite little black
And he always looks proud and happy when she is on his back

He has a small horse complex some small men are this way
He bosses his bigger companion the tall Joe the bay
He is lucky Joe is a quiet horse for if it came to a strength test
Johnny would not be the master as he would come out second best

Johnny the black Shetland pony has time on his side
A handsome little fellow the picture of pride
His owner young Belinda the dark haired seven year old
Would not part with her Little Johnny for all of the World's gold.
