Lovely one. The donkey looks too relaxed and it leaves me wondering what's going on in its head. I just know that's not a fair trade or stand there.

Good one. If for the contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. I am wondering how many different ideas will come to light with that picture as a springboard. Sara K

Great limerick. Don't joke with ferocious animals though. Blessings
