Best Donkeys Poems

The blind, jaundiced eagle falls from the sky.
Falling free, it's the death of liberty.
No need for autopsy to figure why.
Is it freedom we want, or all things free?

We’ll protect you from life so hazardous.
We know how to fix it when you’re hurting.
Blame those other guys,...

The call to order; the chorus now sings
Lord of the Flies dressed in his dapper best  
Dance to the pull of invisible strings  
Hands of the puppeteer moving the rest
 
See the perverse design of humankind
Exploited by those who would rule over us.
To...

Tussled snow-haired gnome flies over the land,
A moonbeam daydream, unicorn soars high.
Pulling bread loaves from the air with his hands,
Weaving through clouds shaped like marshmallow pies.

He’s the master of all he imagines,
To his fantasy you are invited.
To be pragmatic is to be tragic.
It’s story time,...

So don’t let those other guys get you down
How could we not beat the hippie and witch?
She’s a criminal; he’s a goofy clown
But we can’t beat the Donald, here’s the sitch:

Standing at the altar, first five, now three
Awaiting the voters to be their groom
Casting anxious...

Zugzwang

It's psychopathy versus narcissism,
our big decision for twenty-sixteen!
Which pathology is best, or isn’t,
What fell pass led to this dismal ravine?

The Donald, his rich dad’s favorite son.
Wheeler-dealer, Reality TV.
Born on third, it’s not much of a home run.
“This is GREAT! Everyone’s looking at ME!”

Our other choice,...

The only good thing is that one must lose,
In the battle of  Donnie versus Hill.
Three-hundred million cases of the blues,
Add me to the list of those who feel ill.

More than that, it makes me look to the sky
And in addition to all that wishin’
I’m...

A righteous pillage, your justified prize. 
Indignation, winning, all you can see.
If freedom melts away before your eyes
Then you assume it was not meant to be.

A system designed to thwart corruption.
A sacred tree bearing freedom’s flower.
Yet we fall for the tawdry seduction.
A nation of whores,...

The Blackpool donkeys have given up
they have boarded jumbo jets
to be emotional support animals
for those lesser angels
that protect us wingless fliers. 

They have opted out.
Once they used to plod from Blackpool pier
half a mile up, half a mile back,
day after day,
carrying kids and also others
that...

In the bitter cold of the foggy dawn
Their heels I hear on the hard grounds below
Yet another day to work it all 
And the master gets to keep all the pay
As obedient as they may
They head to where the heavy cart stays
Drums filled with pales...

The Blackpool donkeys have given up,
they have boarded jumbo jets
as emotional support animals.

Once they used to plod between
the Blackpool piers
half a mile up, half a mile back,
day after day,
carrying whooping kids and adults
as they heavily jogged along;
fat thighs clapping sore ribs.

In a dulled daydream the...

Donkeys are known for their sheer stubborness;
determination beyond compare.
I see three "saints" for donkeys, nonetheless -
Mary's transport to Bethlehem's square
and Balaam's unique donkey, quite rare.

Mary's donkey is not mentioned per se
in God’s Word, but I don’t think she walked.
Balaam’s donkey saw an angel guarding the...

Let the King take His ride
On the street paved with glory
The hails and the cheers
The shouts and the screams
They are not meant for us 
But the One that we carry
For we are but donkeys
 
Let His choice not irk us
Should he pick a mule ne'er...

We are all lions led by donkeys
Won't mention names but we're like zombies
A Brit and a Yank
Both guys to thank
Almost as painful as a suppository...

It was a party of fleas who dropped some tea into the sea 
Created a baby that left its mommy
Now there is an elephant and donkey in the room
So, lets asked who’s the bigger ***?
A spark, a flare, lighting a camel, an affair
Puff of smoke...

I took a donkey 
Over the border from 
Nepal into India
In Calcutta 
I had tea
When the hotel
Proprietor after checking out
Asked; me 'Any tips?'
I misunderstood & said
'No need.'...
