My Lovable Donkey

I’ll tell you about my donkey I got him a while ago Although he looked so cute in the paper His smile was all for show For as soon as I got him home It became apparent to me He wasn’t what I bargained for I think you would agree He runs at me at high speed And kicks both back feet I’m sure he has a better use He would make a comfy leather seat He teams up with the horse And try to take them on Two against one and 100 kg more Really does seem wrong He looks at me with mad eyes He follows my every move I don’t know what his problem is But he clearly has something to prove Its morning well, its three am And the donkey decides to yell I haven’t had a good night sleep Since we got that Donkey from hell He eats all of our garden And just try to lock him in He undoes every latch in sight And does it with a grin I don’t know why people love donkeys In my opinion I would pass But as sayings go I now can see Why they nicknamed them an @$$ Nadine Hof 28 February 2007
