Now I’ve heard The Man With No Name tellin’ folks I don’t like people laughin’- says I get the crazy notion they’re laughin’ at me… Well, that’s a load of hee-haw, for sure:

Mule Musings
by Jennifer Burville-Riley

Now I’ve heard The Man With No Name
tellin’ folks I don’t like people laughin’-
says I get the crazy notion
they’re laughin’
at me…

Well, that’s a load of hee-haw,
for sure:
I’m about as self-assured and confident a Mule
as you’re likely to find
either side of the Mexican borderline.
See, my Momma was a skittish chestnut mare,
and I get my fine set o’ teeth
and my elegant hooves from her
but my Pappy gave me
a donkey’s patience and an even temper…
shame about the ears.

So y’see I ain’t generally too fussed when folks are laughin’.
I confess, I do hate it when folks start shootin’.

Been shot at by Confederates,
been shot at by the Union,
been shot at by bandits, outlaws, inlaws,
mulateers, racketeers, pistoleers,
pursuin’ posses and ambushin’ enemies.
Been fired on by cannon, by pistol and by rifle…

By my rump, I sure could do without this rumpus nowadays.
Truth be told, I’d settle
for a quiet life,
a little paddock on the prairie.
Sometimes, I say to the cowboy:
look here, friend,
if we don’t take it easy soon,
I’m gonna tell all the folks in the next saloon
just what your Momma really christened
The Man With No Name.
Then we’ll see who gets the crazy idea
that people are laughin’.

I found a file full of photos of Amos and the Minions I hadn’t used.I went looking for a suitable poem and found this one.

And here we are! The poem is clever and funny! (Used for educational purposes only , btw) I’m glad I found it !

(I was hoping since I’d copied those grouped as on the page, they’d load that way, but no. No way I can find that WP will do side by side photos, even when picked up together. My apologies for those who scroll on their phones!)

There’s a story here – Penny got caught

Jenny thought it was hilarious –

Penny thought Jenny might be over doing it a bit.

And told her so-

They agreed to disagree and got over it in 10 minutes

That’s all I got room for – Thanks for dropping by!
