Horse Rhymes by Unknown Author poem

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost;
For want of the shoe, the horse was lost;
For want of the horse, the rider was lost;
For want of the rider, the battle was lost;
For want of the battle, the kingdom was lost;
And all from the want of a horseshoe nail.


I bought a little horse,
That galloped up and down;
I bridled him and saddled him,
And sent him out of town.


Thirty white horses upon a red hill,
Now they tramp, now they champ, now they stand still.
