Donkeys are a boy’s best friend
If making sure his pal’s tail’s pinned
Securely is his favorite game
But otherwise as buds they’re lame.
They don’t play fetch. They rarely run.
The TV shows they quote aren’t fun.
They’re next to worthless buying beer
(If worthless is right there, they’re here).
Donkeys all excel at spelling
But don’t crib their quiz: They’re telling!
Not because you broke a rule;
They’re simply fond of pigeon stool.
Cheerful donkeys do exist
But any donkeywatcher’s list
That documents a smiling ass
Has quite a skeptic’s bar to pass.
Donkeys are by no report
Ideal emotional support
Companions, so it isn’t right
My seatmate brought one on this flight.
