The Donkey
I'm a poor donkey.
And I work very hard.
To my sighs and fatigues
Master pays no regard;
Yet for him I would toil,
And do always my best,
Would he speak
to me kindly,
and give me some rest.
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.
G.K.Chesterton godbothering!
