Wild Ponies at Assateague

Wild ponies of Assateague Isle,
Maryland and Virginia do share
The park where the ponies beguile
The visitors that come to stare.
From where did these wild ponies come?
The main theory is a shipwreck.
A pony filled galleon from
Spain went down with all hands on deck.
Some of the ponies made it to
The island where they've lived on since.
Quite a harsh environment - tiz true!
They survive thanks to good horse sense.

Assateague is a long time home,
Many wild ponies forever roam.
