The Pertinacious Donkey

Its an old saying,    
stubborn as a mule  
The old Italian 
yanked,  
and the donkey said,   
"now that ain't cool"


Stubborn As a Mule (Sijo)

Mule kicked and bucked so high, its
hind legs seemed to reach the sky...
Suffering from many a thing, but vowed 
to suffer war no more,
Soldiers differing with the stubborn 
beast, learned to sit in peace...

Between Sinner and Savior

Between Sinner and Savior

Between Sinner and Savior sermon fought dual;
And which one lately had been new found fool;
Heard teaching,
During preaching;
He said we were all sinners stubborn as a mule.

Premium Member He Needs To Concede

Donald Trump really needs to concede
A new president is what we all need
He's stubborn as a mule
But can't win, voters rule
Step down sir, our Country needs to succeed

Ego Down Came Pouring

Ego Down Came Pouring

Down from sky his big ego came pouring,
And on person who himself was adoring;
Needing more fuel;
Stubborn as a mule;
Far as I am concerned he has been boring.

Hope

Hope can be a good thing, yet a very dangerous thing;
Stubborn as a mule yet fragile as glass.
Hope fills your mind to the brim, giving you something to cling to,
But if it is crushed, you are crushed along with it.
I wish I would not hope.
I know how this is going to go.
But I need to cling to it more desperately than anything,
For without hope, I have nothing left of you.

Learn To Listen

What a mess 
I must confess
I made of my own life
Immaturity can be 
A dull and painful knife
Advice was given readily
Wisdom came like tides
Warned of dangers far and near
That trap young hearts like mine
Stubborn as a mule can be
I scoffed and bucked 
So foolishly
Looking back 
I made a fuss
Over things now 
Old like dust
If I'd listened 
If I heard 
Words of love
I thought absurd

Hackneyed

She’s as pretty as a picture
And as quiet as a mouse.
He’s as blind as a bat
And as fat as a house.

She’s as stubborn as a mule
And as sly as a fox.
He’s as wise as an owl
And as strong as an ox.

She’s as skinny as a toothpick
And as slow as a snail.
He’s as sharp as a tack
And as large as a whale.

I could keep this up forever
But you know what they say:
Nothing ruins someone’s writing
Like an overused cliché!

Premium Member Mother

Generous to a fault,
stubborn as a mule;
a bit older than dirt
but as a general rule-

we treasure your smile,
love your sense of humor;
we applaud your *****
and we've spread the rumor-

that in your younger days
you ate fatback and greens
and could wield a switch 
that made us shoot our beans.

In spite of all the memories
and recurring nightmare scenes,
we're proud to call you Mom
and glad we've got your genes.
