What the Donkey Saw

 

No room at the inn, of course,

And not that much in the stable,

What with the shepherds, Magi, Mary,

Joseph, the heavenly host -

Not to mention the baby

Using our manger as a cot.

You couldn't have squeezed another cherub in

For love or money.

 

Still, in spite of the overcrowding,

I did my best to make them feel wanted.

I could see the baby and I

Would be going places together.
