A brisk verse about shoeing a wild colt and mare, built on hammering, repeated sounds like "here a nail, there a nail." It works nicely as a tapping or clapping rhyme.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Shoe the colt,
Shoe the colt,
Shoe the wild mare;
Here a nail,
There a nail,
Yet she goes bare.
