The Pertinacious Donkey

Its an old saying,    
stubborn as a mule  
The old Italian 
yanked,  
and the donkey said,   
"now that ain't cool"

They can be stubborn, and they can be mean as well. Once I tried to pet one that had a mean streak and it tried to bite me. I looked at it and I said, "That old mule tried to bite me, and it is now laughing with a smile on its face." I enjoyed reading this one today. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Yes Paul he does, my father owned a donkey in Italy, very stubborn he was, he bit his cheek one day, he still has the mark

That's a good enough reason for me to accept the braying of a donkey. Loved it, Vie.
