THE DONKEY
When fishes flew and forests walked
and figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood,
then surely I was born;
With monstrous head and sickening cry
and ears like errant wings,
The Devil's walking parody
on all four-footed things.
The tattered outlaw of the earth
of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me, I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.
Fools! for I also had my hour;
one far fierce hour and sweet;
There was a shout about my ears,
and palms before my feet!
And Christ the King upon my back!
-G. K. Chesterton

Most humble apologies Veronica-son. The donkey was picked up a long time ago without any indication of who did or who did not draw it. If you will take close note, I did not make claim to the work. But to set the record staight, EVERYBODY LOOSEN UP JUST A MOMENT! THE ASS WAS DRAW BY VERONICA KARLSSON, AND I WANT THAT MADE VERY, VERY CLEAR. So solly, VK. Will place "unknown artist" by any others like this. -Shadow On Sun, 25 Nov 2001 09:44:18 +0000, Veronica Karlsson <asc...@hotmail.com> wrote: >The Silent Shadow wrote: >> $k >> 4"'b >> $ 9L >> -u 4F $ >> $"Nu 4F 4F >> 3 +i"*$e. 4F 4$ >> b ^*u ^$c $ 4F >> 3L *c ^$r?L Jb@*"7$# >> 9k ^$ *LJ#" "$* >> J"k "$. $ 9 '*c >> $ *.
