Glorfindel
(10,047 posts)17. A verse by Ogden Nash to go with a portion of "Carnival of the Animals" by Saint-Saens:
(It's how I discovered the onager!_
Wild Jackass
Have ever you harked to the jackass wild
Which scientists call the onager?
It sounds like the laugh of an idiot child
Or a hepcat on a harmoniger.
But do not sneer at the jackass wild,
There is method in his heehaw,
For with maidenly blush and accent mild,
The jenny-ass answers, shee-haw.
