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.
About this rhyme
A little rhyme for play-acting the blacksmith: shoe the colt, shoe the wild mare, nail after nail, and somehow she still goes bare. It suits tapping a child's shoe or foot in time with each 'nail.'
