ANOTHER VERSION.
A tail-tied Genius of Cathay
Has learned to make a Jackass quail,
And stifle in silence its horrible bray;
He does it by tying a weight to its tail.
Has learned to make a Jackass quail,
And stifle in silence its horrible bray;
He does it by tying a weight to its tail.
But Nature long hath brought to pass
This consummation wise and kind;
She quiets many a hee-hawing Ass
By tying a Wife to his tail behind.
This consummation wise and kind;
She quiets many a hee-hawing Ass
By tying a Wife to his tail behind.
