Pin the Tail

PIN THE TAIL

O’Haggard Hoarfrost, she plays winks,
rocks on a sawhorse, tweedle-dee drinks.

Mad Merrie O’Boyle slays lightning from nails —
dazed loony-toon, wears out his flannel tails.

W’cked, their niece, says, “Take them away,” bickers,
with Midnight Judge in his moonwashed-knickers.

Their nephew, hees and haws, a blinking donkey-in-law.
O’Haggard and Merrie pinned his tail on his sacred flaws.

Force-swept, Hoarfrost and O’Boyle, under-dressed,
spoiled with lots of off-the-rocker friends to impress.

W’cked and her donkey are still looking for his appendage.
Facial features are pinned-up on the craziest stages.

Hello Kim, it is hard to pin the tail on the donkey. I never pinned the tail in the right place. Hugs Darlene
