Question
Little Mr. Tinley
He wished to own a horse,
but he only had a donkey.
And to make things worse,
his donkey was taller
than its master.
For such a small creature
its tail was very long.
Every time it was tied
to rest for the day,
the donkey found a way
to somehow sneak outside.
Mr. Tinley ran to catch it
so nobody could watch
a little lonely man's leash,
and his enormous donkey.
