The fire horses pranced As the chef set to cook While the graceful lady danced While reading from his book Clouds smoother than silk Reading from his book The cows gave their milk The clouds smoother than silk His race was a mile While the cows gave their milk The floor gleamed with tile The apple at its core While the floor gleamed with tile Was more solid than a door The fiery horses pranced Was more solid than a door While the graceful lady danced.
