What Does The Donkey Bray About? Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

What Does The Donkey Bray About?

Rating: 2.3


What does the donkey bray about?
What does the pig grunt through his snout?
What does the goose mean by a hiss?
Oh, Nurse, if you can tell me this,
I'll give you such a kiss.
The cockatoo calls ‘cockatoo,’
The magpie chatters ‘how d'ye do?’
The jackdaw bids me ‘go away,’
Cuckoo cries ‘cuckoo’ half the day:
What do the others say?

A very sweet poem of early childhood.
