"There was Riley pushing it, shoving it, shushing it Hogan, Logan and ev'ryone in town lined up Attacking it and shoving it and smacking it They might as well have tried to push the Town Hall down. The donkey was eyeing them, Openly defying them Winking, blinking and twisting out of place, Riley reversing it, Ev'rybody cursing it The day Delaney's donkey ran the half mile race."
