Respectful Donkey


A father and his son were walking freely, on either side of a donkey

Two men standing there looked at them and said, ‘look at these two fools behaving like a monkey’


They are nothing more than a mindless junkie

Cos why would anyone even walk, when they have a donkey?

The father heard this and told his dear son

‘Help me sit on this animal, so we can stop their verbal gun’

As they were walking ahead, under this heated sun


A lady saw and pointed at father ‘look at you, you ruthless one’

‘How can you be so heartless and make your son to walk’

Start counting your days to hell, with an alarm clock

That gave father a 4000-watt electric shock

He felt like a complete unlisted stock

He immediately got down like a smooth sales talk

To make his son sit on it, before they walked toward the city block

When they entered the city

The son was now having his donkey ride

While the father was walking by his side

Seeing this an old man walking along side

Called the son , ‘a lazy bum ‘ with a disgust inside

‘You have NO RESPECT left for your father’, he replied

How can you sit on donkey with such a pride?

While your father have to walk by your side

‘You are worthless young fellow, ask anyone worldwide’

Hearing this, the son felt very abused

Father saw this and felt very confused

He too then climbed the donkey, on seat unused

‘We finally found the solution my son, now we can’t be accused’

Father and son were much relived now, with this perfect solution

They felt as if they have solved the Darwin’s theory of evolution

But before they could go further, with this great discovery and contribution

They heard another noise pollution

This time it were two priests, who looked at them and said

‘God we don’t want to see, these two living dead

So either call us or take them instead’

‘How can these two be so cruel to a donkey, who can’t even say

Hell is waiting for them, as they would decay

Give them some wisdom oh our LORD, we can just pray

Such a cruelty to animal, they both have to repay

Father and son looked at each other and decided

They immediately came to same conclusion undivided

This decision was done at the speed to light

No argument, no fight, they felt they can’t be more polite

They both got down off the donkey, faster than a ‘mouse click’

Tied the donkey to a long bamboo stick

Walked on either side to avoid donkey’s kick


Now they thought, this could be the way to avoid the punishment and hell

Before they could enjoy their heaven’s farewell

A small little boy standing there, made a yell

‘Look at you two mindless junkie’

Behaving like a monkey

Why are you both even walking, when you have a donkey’.


P.S: As they say in Hindi ‘Sabsey bara ROG,kya khangey LOG’ (Biggest ‘disease is to worry about what other would say’ )
