O
THE SS HONKEYS

“T hate this life,’ the country donkey said,

“It’s very stupid, dull, and tame, and slow,
And every ass who is, like me, well bred

To London or some seaside place should go,
Till life he’s seen in crowded road and street

No donkey’s education is complete.”

‘f have seen life’? and aged ass replied
“Its kicks and cuffs and sticks and heavy roads,
And well I know because I both have tried,
The worth of green grass over dusty roads.
Stay where you are
and do not fret to
roam,
For grass and hap-
piness are found at

home.
