I am but a humble retired gentleman living in La Mancha with my niece (no, really) and my housekeeper. For some reason I am starting to believe fictitious events I read about are real. Yes, I am Donkey Oatie, and as you can see I am all tuckered out from my quests.
Lampwick's attempt to escape Paese dei Balocchi was doomed to failure when his "float-away-using-his-woollen-tunic-as-a-balloon" idea was scuppered by its inexplicably refusing to inflate.
I must to the barber's, monsieur; for methinks I am marvellous hairy about the face; and I am such a tender ass, if my hair do but tickle me,I must scratch.
When will the stream be aweary of flowing under my eye? When will the wind be aweary of blowing over the sky? When will the clouds be aweary of fleeting? When will the heart be aweary of beating.... ...and nature die? Name that fillum...
It's Merrick's last lines in T'Elephant Man - he sort of dies like the Donkey - puts his big ole oversized head back on the pillow for the first time ever and suffoctaes himself, tired of living...the Donkey's pose reminded me of it very much...tha nos.
