There Was Once a Childless Donkey
There was once a childless donkey
she desired a baby of her own womb
she sat and thought all day and all night
“I know I do not have eggs in my womb
why can’t I borrow eggs from chicken
If I swallow them I will become pregnant.”
Chicken took her wishes with passion
several eggs donkey was given in a basket
each time she tried, she crashed and ate
Donkey waited long and long and long
the signs of pregnancy did not appear
she tried turkeys, ducks, birds of the air
