My FAVORITE DONKEY©
Please don't tell the others
But there's a secret I'd like to share.
Shadow you are the very best donkey.
For the rest just don't compare.
I know you're not suppose to have favorites
But Shadow you are mine.
I always smile when I hear you bray.
It happens everytime.
You put your whole body in it.
You sound just like a train.
And just when I think you're done braying
You start all over again.
Although you've only been here a year
I know I could never replace you.
For it wouldn't be only me that missed you
Mickey would miss you too.
Please don't tell the others
But there's a secret I'd like to share.
Mickey you are the very best donkey,
For the rest just don't compare.
I sure didn't need another donkey
When I saw the ad that day.
But I thought, "Oh, what the heck."
And went and saw you anyway.
When I walked up to you, you raised your head.
At my heart strings you did tug.
You placed your head on my shoulder
And gave me a donkey hug.
So Mickey you've found a home for life.
And I promise you'll always stay.
If all you do is give me hugs
Each and every day.
Please don't tell the others
But there's a secret I'd like to share.
Jassper you are the very best donkey
For the rest just don't compare.
You were tiny when I first saw you,
Just an hour old.
I never dreamed that you'd grow up
To be so very bold.
Dog, cat, chicken none are safe
Whenever you're around.
Away you go, chasing them
And try to stomp them in the ground.
Jassper you are so cute
With your shaggy coat all year.
You've brought me many hours of joy
And I hold you oh so dear.
Please don't tell the others
But there's a secret I'd like to share.
Ranger you are the very best donkey
For the rest just don't compare.
I'll never forget the day I found you
Ranger you started it all.
That day when I first looked in your eyes
Never dreaming how deep I'd fall.
You are my friend and my partner
You'll always be special to me.
Where ever you go you bring sunshine
You're all I'd want a donkey to be.
I guess that I just can't decide
They're all special in some way.
But I must go, for down the road
I hear ANOTHER donkey bray!
