I was walking down the road and I saw a donkey, HEE HAW! He only had three legs, one eye, he liked to listen to country music, he was quite tall and slim, and he smelt really, really bad. That morning he got up early and hadn't had any coffee. He was always getting up to mischief......
but he was quite good looking! He was a spunky hanky-panky cranky stinky-dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey!
