He acquired his first horse as a young boy
A task his father intrusted him with
With this animal there would not be joy
for the colt would have blindness to cope with
Many horses followed as the boy grew
The first at West Point where he'd graduate
with horsemanship as the top skill he knew
Then horseback riding he'd do for his dates
Following, gifts of horses he'd receive
Of course there was Jack of Civil WAR fame
Others from death he would never retrieve
Last Cincinnati is clue to his name
Real name is not Ulysis S. Grant
It's President Hiram Ulysis Grant
