Neddy
On Monday morn when I went out,I had a big surprise;There was a baby donkey,With the beautif'llest brown eyes!His coat was grey and very soft,And his legs were long as long;He wasn't near so tall as me,And just 'bout half as strong.When I carry him a bowl of milkI say out loud and plain;“If you drink it up so quickly, Ned,You'll surely have a pain!”My Daddy says I must not rideHim round the field just yet,For my legs must grow longer first,And his must stouter get.His mummy's name is Bunny Brown,She has a comfy shedUpon a hillock in the field,Where Neddy's put to bed.Poor Trust is lying in the shed,His foot is tied up tight,'Cause Father put some stuff on it,To make it feel all right.Trust went too near the naughty cow,That's always rather cross;She ran at him and knocked him down,Then gave him such a toss.

And just 'bout half as strong.

I hope my darling little NedWill take the greatest careTo keep alongside Bunny BrownIf Jenny should be near.If she should hurt my pretty Ned,I don't know what I'd do!I think I'd hit herveryhard,Until she simply flew.I'll give my Neddy lots of milk,Until he's quite, quite grown,For Father's given him to me,For my very, very own.
