She was a little horse.
The joke “Why couldn’t the pony sing a lullaby? She was a little horse” employs a classic play on words, utilizing the double meaning of the phrase “a little horse.” The setup invites the audience to ponder why a pony, anthropomorphized for humor, is unable to sing a lullaby. The punchline reveals that the pony is “a little horse,” a phrase that, when heard, can be interpreted as the pony being small in size or as having a hoarse voice, which would impede singing.
