Premium Member Lions Led By a Donkey

I could see the virus approaching so why couldn't he?
But he had to keep investors happy and save the economy
On his watch people in their thousands, died needlessly
The U.K. had a spiralling death rate, a preventable tragedy.

He didn't listen to the top scientists, they have said so
I hope he doesn't try and deny it and say he didn't know
Care home residents from hospitals sent home to die
A ring of steel around the vulnerable, seems that was a lie.

Denials and lies seems to be a politicians stock in trade
Many have looked on in horror at the decisions he's made
Lockdowns were implemented but sadly too late
While the virus was spreading at an alarming rate.

He said " no more lockdowns, let the bodies pile high"
His advisor said he said it and of course he'll deny
The Bereaved Families for Justice, want a public enquiry
A waste of taxpayers money because he governs with impunity.

He stood in his doorway clapping with a smile on his face
What he offered the NHS 'heroes' is nothing short of a disgrace
They were  offered a paltry rise of a measly one percent
Many put themselves at risk and are now struggling to pay rent.

These pandemics are nothing new and this one won't be the last
It's a shame that he and other leaders didn't learn from the past
Politicians are sparse with the truth, and they often deceive
But please make up your own mind on who you want to believe.

Premium Member Pin the Tail On the Donkey-Hee Haw

Swirl me, twirl me, spin me ‘round
My eyes are covered, subject not found.
Direct me here, then block me there
Smiles and snickers; won’t give a care.
Hates me, baits me, friend or foe
I stop to listen but never know.
Frizzy, dizzy, can’t find the beast
Removing blind, tail’s pinned on me!

The Donkey

The donkey 
Has become a symbol
Of it's stubborn ways.
Not one of the brightest
But yet it does not stray.
It keeps it's head centered and down
And does not look side to side,
For it does not want to lose it's path,
In the guidance of the lighted trail.
While, awaiting Jesus  to come,
Joy, would flow through the smile,
For, God has raised him for this purpose.
The One that would not scatter while, others flee.
It carries the cross
On It's back everyday
For it's embedded in it's coat
Praise this donkey
That we should learn from
One, of the foolish breeds,
Has shown us daily who we need,
To be pulled out of the weeds
I will keep it's ways in my walk
For then the Lord will 
Use my tongue to talk
It pleases God this way
To take the foolish
The world can not see
To be the one that
Teaches the scholars
What they have learned
From mans wisdom
Is not who He wants you to be
If you want peace and to be free


The Christmas Donkey

I was just a little donkey
carrying a Special Load.
A weary Joseph led me...
and on my back, Mary Rode.

Mary was tired and cold
and needed a place to rest.
I tried to walk gently,
eager to do my best.

Inns in Bethlehem were crowded !!
No Innkeeper could let her stay
and could only offer them
A stable with a manger of hay.

Noise of the animals awoke me...
and I glanced at the Manger bed..
I witnessed that night, A MIRACLE!!!
The Baby laid down His Sweet Head..

Of all the other donkeys ..
I was most blessed than all of them...
Because I was the chosen donkey
to take Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem

Mario Kart

I was playing my Nintendo
controller in my hand
I guess I dozed off
to Mario Kart land

It was Donkey Kong Stadium
I was in the lead
no one could catch me
as I reached maximum speed

Approaching the finish line
I heard a thundering squreech
slamming into the back of me
was my opponent peach

Everything went dark
and when I opened my eyes
I had fallen off my bed
only a dream to my surprise.

Premium Member Don'T Be a Silly Donkey This Year

Little donkey
Legs are wonky
He’s been on the beer
Little donkey
He’s gone wonky 
Full of Christmas cheer

Been a long night little donkey
You need to sober up
If he arrives on your doorstep
Be warned that he’s half cut

Little donkey
Eyes gone wonky
He’s had too much beer
If he heads to drive a vehicle
We have much to fear

Any one who drinks and drives …. really is an ass

Premium Member A Donkey Spy

Meet Dorothy the donkey
she has a weird googly eye,
when she’s staring straight at you
you will either laugh or cry.

For you see, whenever she
seems to be gazing ahead,
her crazy googly eye is
looking to her side instead!

If you think she can't see you,
you forgot her googly eye;
hard to believe, but it's true,
some say she's a donkey spy.

With her googly eye, oh my!

Elephant Vs Donkey

That's not my Elephant!

Premium Member My Pet Donkey Kim

As children are
They all want a pet
I wanted a horse
My little sister wanted a pony
Our parents compromised
They got us a goldfish
Of course we had to name our new pet
We compromised yet again and called him
Turtle

Now turtle would spend hours and hours
Running and jumping around an around in his watery fields
A very fast Turtle he was
We decided to film our little turtle and so we did
The show off would make jokes and acrobats
Turns out he was a real comedian 
(also an expert at cards, especially Go Fish)
To out surprise, an evil man didn’t like our wee turtle
Why he called him a darn little monkey
He said he would shatter our fish bowl
Well he called it a Monkey bowel

Then one day we saw something miraculous
A second gold fish
Turns out he was a she
Happily now my sister and I both had pets
She a wee little pony and me
A great big beautiful black stallion
She name her Pony Grasshopper
So worried she was, that the evil man from far away
Would do great harm to us, Grasshopper and Turtle
She said we should get on our pony and horse
And ride away on the ocean, far away and safe

Then all of a sudden, our neighbors Korean Siamese cat jumped
Right through the window, and right smack into the fish bowl
Poor Turtle and Grasshopper, all over the floor
My sister cried her little heart out that day
From that moment forward, I just could never get myself
To drink Orange crush again

Premium Member Donkey Of Your Eye

Donkey in the farm, strong hoofs romping
Wonky when you charm, long spoofs hooting

Donkey standing as you stare, shy when you dare
Teeth grinning as you glare, dry when you blare

Sweet and gentle that sire, donkey of your eye
Lifeguard under fire, wise and clean with your lye

Joseph, Mary, a Donkey and Democrats

A donkey carried Mary and her unborn child to Bethlehem 
Joseph sturdily led the way on foot it has been penned 
The donkey proved a faithful friend to Joseph and Mary
It got them to where they had to be on time and safely
The Democratic Party’s donkey logo was picked to demonstrate
How staunch democratic members normally operate
Taking deliberate moves on behalf of its constituency
Sacrificing speed for cautious concern and dependability
Donkeys are known to be stubborn and may refuse to budge
Like indecisive Democrats inclined to delay and misjudge
I applaud the Democratic Party’s’ efforts to serve so diligently
Its donkey logo fits their political and historical identity
After all, if the donkey was good enough for Joseph and Mary
How can I disagree, a Democratic sinner who prays infrequently?

Premium Member Donkey Horse Hen Rooster On the Lamb Chickens Leap Fly Jump Popeye's Chicken For Lunch

There once was a donkey
He was married to a horse
Donkey was to stubborn
So the donkey got a divorce

Cleaver was the ways of the hen
She married a bucking rooster
He took her by the wing then
Tried to seduced her

Don't want no green eggs N ham
Don't want to go on the lamb
I am, I am horsey running away
Chickens can't fly they may leap and jump
Think I'm gonna have Popeye's Chicken for lunch, :) ha! ha! Ha!

The Little Donkey

A lonely donkey stood in the corner
of a humble manger, piled deep with hay.
Gathered with strangers ‘n sweet smelling myrrh,
not knowing this would be a special day.
At this very moment, God held him close
to witness the birth of a new kingdom.
He looked upon the child in swaddling clothes,
and could not possibly know why he’d come.
He only knew a great feeling of love
as his big brown eyes filled with tears of joy.
Proclaimed with a shining star from above,
God has given the world his baby boy.

To bring hope and forgiveness as we pray,
beginning with His birth on Christmas Day.

Premium Member A Horse and a Donkey

Along a country a dusty country road
      There is a lot to explore
I see a large house on the field
Beside the home was a vegetable field
       With a huge scarecrow at watch

To chase away all the birds
   On the other side - I saw
A fence area with a white fence
In the coral were two creatures
      A beautiful white horseI thought

Beside the horse was a donkey 
They were standing side by side
No sound came from either one
They were staring at the road
I thought it the stranges thing

Mary Joseph and the Donkey
By Franklin Price
12/23/2105

Mary, Joseph and the donkey, on the way to Bethlehem.
Jesus not yet born, but he was still with them
Warm in Mary's stomach still swaddled in the womb.
Would be crowded in the city, hoped that they could get a room

Finally arriving, they were tired and needed rest.
They tried but found no lodging which put their patience to the test.
The innkeeper announced, to give a room he was not able
But they could have a place to rest in the corner of the stable

There was nothing else to do and no place else to stay
Quickly they must get inside, God was about to have his way
Although the conception holy, the birth came naturally
And there was baby Jesus for all the world to see

They wrapped him up, and moved the cows, and laid him in a manger
Angels watching down on them to keep them out of danger
Little did they know, wise men and kings were on the way
They heard it through the grapevine that Christ was born that day

Shepherds saw them passing by and joined the growing crowd
Arriving at the stable dropped to their knees and bowed
The star that brightly led them there still glowing in the sky
Shining on the king of kings who on the cross must die

For Christ was sent to save us, he was God's only son.
Was sent to live among us, to show he was the one.
If we believe this story's true, that Christ was heaven made
Our everlasting life is free our dues by Christ were paid.
