There was an old horse from Berlin

who drew an old coach with a grin

He stopped at a pub

to drink a beer up

That poor old horse from Berlin

  If you interpret it as a carriage that has been “drawn” by a horse, then there is no need for the horse to “draw” a horse: just a carriage 😂
  
  P.S. I’m sure that was perfectly clear. 😉
