What did the donkey say
to the tiger from old Bombay 
they say you are royal 
but I won't be loyal
to one who considers me prey.

If you mix an Elephant and a Donkey
you will come up with a barrel full of Monkeys
holding guns and bibles
chanting the Zionists songs

A Mexican mule is endowed
To cheerfully service a crowd
Each roll in the hay
Brings shouts of, "Olé!"
And his bray, for crying out loud!

I Am the Donkey

If I am a donkey.
I think I am
When I am 
Drunk and dull.
I eat the slow motion thoughts
And make my drink
Out of my fast imagination.

The donkey

And the elephant

The donkey us tough and slow in thought 

The elephant never forgets

Firecrackers were thrown at his groove

A donkey, mule, sidekick and ass
Are they the same or does one have more class?

A Turk living in old Istanbul
Drank raki until he was full,
He tried riding home on his donkey
But his steering was wonky ,

Who happened to be afraid of snakes

At the Zoo - very crude

He heard that the zoo was for sale;
a donkey and tiger he'd 'nail':
'I want' - to the lass -
'your pussy and ass!'

Who's laugh sounded just like a donkey
He smelled like a skunk
High noon he'd get drunk
And then with the ladies got frisky

Donkey went to a small stream one day,
but a tiger stood right in his way.
Tiger roared and then fled.
Donkey filled him with dread
when he let out a bellowing bray!

One day, a tiger and a donkey meet.
Said donkey, if I say you’re rather sweet;
Sir, will you let me pass?
Oh no, you silly ass,
I’m hungry, and it’s you I mean to eat!
