The Mad Yak

 I am watching them churn the last milk they'll ever get
from me.
They are waiting for me to die;
They want to make buttons out of my bones.
Where are my sisters and brothers?
That tall monk there, loading my uncle, he has a new cap.
And that idiot student of his--
I never saw that muffler before.
Poor uncle, he lets them load him.
How sad he is, how tired!
I wonder what they'll do with his bones?
And that beautiful tail!
How many shoelaces will they make of that!

The Yak

 As a friend to the children
 Commend me the Yak.
You will find it exactly the thing:
 It will carry and fetch, you can ride on its back,
Or lead it about with a string.

The Tartar who dwells on the plains of Thibet
 (A desolate region of snow)
Has for centuries made it a nursery pet,
 And surely the Tartar should know!
Then tell you papa where the Yak can be got,
 And if he is awfully rich
He will buy you the creature—
 or else
he will not.
(I cannot be positive which.)

Y was a yak

Y

was a yak,From the land of Thibet:Except his white tail,He was all black as jet.
