The Old Grey Mare



 

          

                


An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. 

The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. 

 As they went along they passed some people

Who remarked it was a shame the old man

Was walking and the boy was riding.



The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right,


So they changed positions.

 

 



Then, later, they passed some people who remarked,


'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.'



So they then decided they'd both walk! 


Soon they passed some more people who thought

They were stupid to walk when they had a

Decent donkey to ride. 

So, they both rode the donkey.


Now they passed some people


Who shamed them by saying how awful to

Put such a load on a poor donkey.





The boy and man figured they were probably right,


So they decide to carry the donkey.  

As they crossed the bridge,

They lost their grip on the animal

And he fell into the river and drowned.

 
 

 
The moral of the story?




If you try to please everyone,




You might as well..


Kiss your ass goodbye!






 
Have A Nice Day And
Be Careful With Your Donkey




A man bought a donkey from a preacher. The preacher told the man that this donkey had been trained in a very unique way, (being the donkey of a preacher). The only way to make the donkey go, is to say,  "Hallelujah!" The only way to make the donkey stop, is to say, "Amen!" The man was pleased with his purchase and immediately got on the animal to try out the preacher's instructions. "Hallelujah!" shouted the man. The donkey began to trot. "Amen!" shouted the man. The donkey stopped immediately. "This is great!" said the man. With a "Hallelujah", he rode off very proud of his new purchase. The man traveled for a long time through some mountains. Soon he was heading towards a cliff. He could not remember the word to make the donkey stop. "Stop," said the man. "Halt!" he cried. The donkey just kept going. "Oh, no... 'Bible...Church!...Please Stop!!," shouted the man. The donkey just began to trot faster. He was getting closer and closer to the cliff edge. Finally, in desperation, the man said a prayer..."Please, dear Lord. Please make this donkey stop before I go off the end of this mountain,  AMEN." The donkey came to an abrupt stop just one step from the edge of the cliff. "HALLELUJAH!", shouted the man.



THE OLD GRAY MARE 

The old gray mare, 
She ain't what she used to be 
Ain't what she used to be, 
Ain't what she used to be 
The old gray mare, 
She ain't what she used to be 
Many long years ago. 

Many long years ago, 
Many long years ago, 
The old gray mare, 
She ain't what she used to be 
Many long years ago. 

The old gray mare, 
She kicked on the whiffletree, 
Kicked on the whiffletree, 
Kicked on the whiffletree 
The old gray mare, 
She kicked on the whiffletree 
Many long years ago. 

Many long years ago, 
Many long years ago, 
The old gray mare, 
She kicked on the whiffletree 
Many long years ago.
