“Dapple Gray”
Traditional folk rhyme

 

 I had a little horse, his name was Dapple Gray;
 His legs were made of cornstalks, his body made of hay.
 I saddled him and bridled him and rode him off to town;
 Up came a puff of wind, and blew him up and down.
 The saddle flew off, and I let go,—
 Now didn’t my horse make a pretty little show?
