Fairies and A Donkey.

Fairies and a Donkey.

 

I bought my mice a donkey today,

It really could do nothing but bray.

The fairies too all wanted a ride,

I had to walk by the donkey’s side.

I spent a lot of my time buying fresh carrots.

Sometimes I wish I had bought some parrots.

It is tiring walking beside a donkey all day,

If it were not for the fairies I would give it away.

The little mice are all well behaved you know.

They only say that the donkey is too slow.

I have a large problem finding it fresh hay.

I will give it some cooked potatoes today.

Tomorrow well I will just have to wait and see,

Perhaps you have some fresh grass for me.

Fairies, mice and a donkey are for me too much.

For myself I prefer poems, stories and such.

If you would like a donkey to call your very own,

Then please do come quickly to my old home.

The Fairy Queen would give it a new stall,

And I will give a new saddle just to top it all.

Please stop and hear my desperate plea.

For the donkey will be the death of me.
