PETER McCUE
(A Quarter Horse from the 1800’s)
Ain’t you never heard what Peter done?
Run the quarter-mile in twenty-one
And he run it backwards in twenty flat;
Why, stranger, where have you been at?
What else could he do,
This Peter McCue?
He could gallop the range with tireless legs,
He could build a fire and scramble the eggs;
Though he never learned to subtract or devide,
He was mighty good when he multiplied.
