Brutus the Mule Pt1

Brutus was always bad But what can you expect from a liasion When Molly the mare, met the Jackass Brutus's dad? Well here is the story about Brutus Its a Mule, son of Molly and Rufus Molly was a comely mare you see Rufus looked like a Jackass in every degree They didn't share any love or hate But what brought them together was a twist of fate My uncle wanted a worker you see Something relentless, strong and mighty To climb the valley, hills and the glen In this capacity ,the mule was man's best friend So a date was set for Rufus and Molly to meet Out of the prying eyes of children to accomplish the feat After Brutus trysts and dirty deed Molly grew fat from Brutus's seed Nine months later at the break of dawn We had Brutus, Molly's craggy spawn Now just after about a year had gone Brutus grew sturdy and also strong He looked more like a horse you see An equine specimen we'll all agree It was time for Brutus's schooling In simple stages was the plan Uncle Poppy, to be the leading Hand The plan was hatched and the scene was staged To gradually induce Brutus to his trade We decided when Brutus was watered and fed Uncle Poppy would mount his back and straddle his leg Brutus didn't flinch nor did he complain Haughtily Uncle Poppy patted Brutus's mane Time after time he would sit on his back Brutus stood still, but never moved a jot. But composed and agreeable was our take Then further progress we ought to make. Pt 1
