Some Say

(Author Anonymous)

Some say the donkey's grumpy
Some say the donkey's dumb

They pile its back with bundles
And scold it when it grumbles
And thump it when it stumbles

No wonder it is so glum!

Some say the donkey's stubborn
Some say it holds a grudge

If I were so mistreated
And got so overheated
I'd threaten to be seated

And never ever budge!!

(My students love this poem. They thought it somehow funny, yet very true. Shame I don't know who to give the credit for this awesome job.)
