-
- I love to ride my pony,
- Without her I would be so lonely.
- She's the best friend I've ever had,
- Buttons' N Bows is hardly ever bad.
- Her eyes are so friendly and warm,
- When I ride her she has beautiful form.
- She's so graceful, yet strong.
- I know with Buttons I'll never go wrong.
- My pony Buttons is so smart,
- She can be ridden or driven with a cart.
- Together we have participated in many shows,
- To come back home with a lot of ribbons, trophies and
bows.
- Buttons' best friend, is a pony called Ollie,
- Who Sharon McCarthur happens to ride, by golly.
- The four of us love to ride all day,
- Though when we come home, we still have lots of energy to play
