Twas nothing more than a lucky shot......Don Quixote happened to be one of my set books for Spanish 'A' level - along with El Cid -a tremendous tale of how news of the hero's death was kept from his troops, but his corpse was dressed in armour, stuck on his horse and successfully led his army into battle.

Far from it..............
The ricketty ramshackle old beast was reckoned by him to be superior to the Bucephalus of Alexander the Great and the Bavieca of the Cid. ;)

Well, I enjoyed Roo's offering.
But I'm still not sure how points are awarded in this contest, so I'll err on the side of erudition, with this offering of a little poem which I learned off by heart as a small boy:
The Donkey (by G.K.Chesterton)
When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born;
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil's walking parody
On all four-footed things
The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still
Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.

This whole thread is missing a point or some purpose in life.
I must say I was far more enthusiastic about gaining 'Tart' points, gaining points for being an ass can be seen as a bit of a stigma.
I've an idea, fellas, taking the Wonkey Donkey theme, how about if every post from now on has to contain a bit of rhyme?
I'll start it off by saying that last night I suspected Sparky may have been on the Waccy Baccy. ;D

I would accept whatever you do Master Puebik but I too think Kipling was better, after all there are so many natural Tarts in Northants ;D
