Giving Tisbury youngsters a daily treat

is this Shetland pony on Main Street.

Its well-groomed look is truly top-notch;

its name is appealing: Butter-Scotch.

A horse of divers and distinctive styles,

it hails from England's Shetland Isles.

Well-groomed from mane to buffed-up hooves,

it stands in one place and never moves.

A toddler passed by and took a whack

at trying to mount the pony's back.

From Butter-Scotch its owners want no more

than that it lure customers into their store.
