. The runaway donkey, and other rhymes for children . V * to. If Barney is sulky and stubborn and slow, Goes poking along or refuses to go, Or if he is frisky and capers and kicks, C Or upsets the cart, or does other bad tricks, I say tis no wonder he wears a big V, So Vexing and Vicious a Villain is he ! But when the dear fellow, so pretty and strong,In meek or gay humor trots nimbly along,The V seems to stand for the Virtues he shows,The Vim and Velocity with which he goes-Our Veteran donkey, more Valued each year,The Vigorous, Valiant, Vivacious old dear!
