Clover Takes A Trip

Clover will play when daddy's away and mischief is clear in her eye
She hops off the bed, she lands on her head - suddenly all is awry!

She's startled and woke with a horrible poke by a donkey with long yellow teeth
Who tells her in favor that she's quit his flavor - to marry her would be a treat

"I'll swoon you today with my beautiful bray, we'll be wed by the rooster in June
Then we will dine on the cheapest of wine and munch on the sweet golden hay"

"O you can't be serious? Am I delirious? What would my poor daddy say?
Marry an ass who is lacking in class - give sway to a dissonant bray
Be bought by the line of a neddys design? Slainte! For I must decline".
