Davies v Mann
Davies' ass stood tethered there
It fattened by the road
Mann's wagon tore around the bend
Bad end it's pace forebode
To late to swerve
No turning now
The wagon kept on through the curve
And through the ass did plow.
"Your fault," said Davies angrily
"Your careless reckless shode"
"No so!" said Mann, "You never should
have left it near the road!"
Mann, not choosing to avoid
The last clear chance insures
Your negligence has killed the ass
And that will cost you yours!
