'Chevalita,
Pretty cretr,
I do love her
Like a brother;
Just to ride
Is my delight,
For she does not
Kick or bite,'
Just to ride Is my delight, For she does not Kick or bite, ' very good poem. tony
We usually want to delightfully ride someone who does not 'kick or bite'. Couldn't get the meaning of 'cretr' - can any one help?
Khairul Ahsan, cretr is a humorous misspelling of " creature" . This poem is from Louisa May Alcott's book UNDER THE LILACS. The main character in the story is a boy named Ben who has never attended school and he was writing this poem about Chevalita, a lovely horse belonging to a friend.
I do love her! ! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Just to ride Is my delight, For she does not Kick or bite, '
Simple does not mean empty minded. A truism. I'd say redundancy...
