Moral: Never underestimate an opponent.

The tiger growled "You shall not pass!" The donkey said "Come on. Don't be so crass. I'm just here for a drink and if you really think you can stop me, I'll just kick your dumb a**!"

Thank you, Emilia. I have a fair number of limericks and other humorous poems on Poetry Soup, but I should warn you that not all the limericks are funny. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. Cheers from Canada. Jim
