There was a girl named Abigail
Who was taking a drive
Through the country
With her parents
When she spied a beautiful sad-eyed
Grey and white pony.
And next to it was a sign
That said,
FOR SALE-CHEAP.
-Oh,� said Abigail,
-May I have that pony?
May I please? �
And her parents said,
-No you may not.�
And Abigail said,
-But I MUST have that pony.�
And her parents said,
'Well, you can't have that pony.'
-Well, you can have a nice butter pecan
Ice cream cone when we get home.�
And Abigail said,
-I don-t want a butter pecan
Ice cream cone,
I WANT THAT PONY-
I MUST HAVE THAT PONY.�
And her parents said,
-Be quiet and stop nagging-
You-re not getting that pony.�
And Abigail began to cry and said,
-If I don-t get that pony I-ll die.�
And her parents said, -You won-t die.
No child ever died yet from not getting a pony.�
And Abigail felt so bad
That when she got home she went to bed,
And she couldn-t eat,
And she couldn-t sleep,
And her heart was broken,
And she DID die-
All because of a pony
That her parents wouldn-t buy.
