Derek was a donkey
but stubborn like a mule,
and he was determined
to go to public school.
I know that must sound crazy,
as crazy as can be.
Donkeys are not scholars —
most people would agree.
But Derek was not average.
That donkey had a brain!
He taught himself to talk and read,
but how — I can’t explain.
So Derek found a school
and pleaded with Miss Dunn,
who was the school’s principal
and placed him in grade one.
And Derek was successful
in each and every class,
because that donkey never
acted like an ass!

🤣🤣And on the times that he did,
Would he confess at Mass?

Herb, it does say that he “never” acted like an ass. He had nothing to confess. Furthermore, not all donkeys are Catholic. 😊
