Donkeys get a raw deal
almost everywhere
imagine Ethiopia
that is where despair
can hit a poor old donkey
who has to deliver hay
2 bales on his poor old back
and walking half the day
in hot sun without water
on rough and rocky ground
they soldier on regardless
they never make a sound
but do need food and water
do need to get some care
but without the Brooke fraternity
few appear aware
