A donkey was lead by an old man out in the old country side And on the mule’s back, a young boy did ride Some people criticized and demanded they change places So, the boy is now walking and smiles were on those folks faces More people saw this and said both man and boy should ride So the beast bore the weight like the naggers did chide Animal activists claimed that’s too much for the burro So now, the man and the boy are carrying the mule As they crossed over a bridge, the man and boy lost their grip Their burden was relieved, when the donkey did slip The moral of this story, in your memory should last If you try to please everyone, you’ll soon lose you’re a** |
