The Donkey and the Weasel

A funny rhyming story, that reminds people not to be proud

                                  The

                    Donkey and the Weasel

                        A donkey once stood

                     On a chair by the wood

           And boasted with much boastful pride

           Why he would be rich before he died

                 And said as did beat his chest

        That he thought he was the best of the best

               And showed his wood carvings

             That he would sell for 70 farthings

                          One was of a beagle

                      The other was of an eagle

        <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>                               

                              But just then

            A weasel came right out of his den

             And challenged him all the more

             That he should not just be a bore

             And he said with an angry frown

            That he was the best up and down

                And that when he was born

           The earth was filled with good corn 

       “Rubbish” said the donkey getting mad

       “When you were born the corn was bad”

  <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

                        They argued all day

     Running about and getting in each others way

            Finally one said that they should fight                    

                  Then said “Or we can bite,”

  Then the weasel brought out some boxing gloves

              For boxing is the thing he loves 

                Then they began a big match

                     By the house of thatch 

They punched each other by the tune of a clucking hen

                   And also beat up poor Ken! 

                       And then, bye and bye  

                    The weasel got a black eye!

                      The donkey’s nose bled

               But yet, they still weren’t dead!

               Yet they still fought all the more,

          That is, in tell their boxing gloves tore!

                  Then they hugged real tight.

 Everybody thought they were done with the fight

                       But that was not right!

              Now began a match of Tug-of-War!

                    That was a surprise for sure! 

                     And they pulled very hard 

        But the donkey slipped on a playing card

              They fell off a cliff and that’s all

                  Pride comes before a fall
