Short Brayed Poems

I chose to run but had I stayed
I’da been an ass and loudly brayed

The farmer's wife and milkman  played seesaw
Their sighs weren't  heard as two donkeys brayed  He-Haw


Inspired by Silent One's contest ( not for contest  )...

I sat on the back of a burro
          The little fella brayed

        Then I tried a quarter-horse
          The big guy neighed

        Did I mention we were on the moon
          Thought I was a jockey for a day...

There once was a braying ass
who was so crass
Her head was so thick-
Her owner had to beat her with a stick.
That ass
She brayed day and night-
always ready for a fight.
One day she brayed too loud
Her owner took her in front of a crowd
Shot her right in the head-
Thank Goodness, 
that braying ass is now dead.

Old MacDonald had a farm
With some noisy critters on it.
They mostly mooed, or neighed,
Or clucked, or brayed,
But some stayed
Resolutely mute,
I'm afraid.
It wasn't his equines,
Or bovines,
Or fowls,
Or anything lodged in his barns or corrals,
But a couple of rather recalcitrant vowels.
The "e" and the "i" and the "o"
Answered the call,
While the "a" and the "u"
Stayed conspicuously AWOL.

as the hen settled down on her eggs
  and the burro brayed his last bray
the moon slowly rose in the sky
  fulsome and round to the eye

sated calves nuzzled up against udders
  while fillies snuggled into their mothers
lambs curled up beside sheep
  the world had plunged into sleep

yet denizens of the dark kept on going
  internal time clocks never slowing
night crawlers dancing 'til dawn 
  miles from the doe and her fawn...

The cow was playing cowbells,
Giddy Goat joined in on his guitar,
The horse was hoofing bongo drums.
Animals started coming from afar.

The chicken clucked an egg out,
Pig was oinking right in time,
Duck was tinkling on her triangle
While dog was hammering on his chime.

Pussy picked up her piccolo,
Goose was flapping on his flute,
Donkey brayed on a big trombone,
It really was a farmyard hoot!
