Today’s bit of horse isn’t actually a poem, but I thought it belonged anyway. It’s an excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There written by Lewis Carroll in 1871.
Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There
“Whenever the horse stopped (which it did very often), he fell off in front; and, whenever it went on again (which it generally did rather suddenly), he fell off behind. Otherwise he kept on pretty well, except that he had a habit of now and then falling off sideways; and, as he generally did this on the side on which Alice was walking, she soon found that it was the best plan not to walk quite close to the horse.”
