The little pony, his coat was dapple gray. It is a descriptor, not a name.

We also had the following poem which was a reply to bratty kids who said, "I don't care," to adults....

Don't care didn't care, don't care was wild
Don't care stole plum and pear like any beggars child.
Don't care was MADE to care
Don't care was hung
Don't care was put in a pot and boiled till he was done.

I remember seeing this in a book that also contained the infamous little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead.   Never saw the prison version. Must be a family thing.
