Funny little donkey,What makes you so cross?Your tone is quite demanding,Who made you the boss?Hee haw! Hee haw !Hee haw! Hee haw!  Hee haw!Children run to pet youYou frighten them awayYour head raised up, your ears back, Belt out your throaty brayHee haw! Hee haw !Hee haw! Hee haw!  Hee haw!

Robin, your nest is as disarrayedA home as mine feels some days.Your sticks a hasty clutterSighing against orderBattling precisionFighting organization,Just finding shelter,Sweet peace.I know you loved this leafy retreatWhere spring's green grew around You and shaded your familyWhere voices were close byStill you could hide;We are not too much differentYou and I.

Wave in the autumn skyYour plumes like feathersAs I pass by.Sweep summer from the airErase the dust of heatAnd webs of care.
