The Smart Ass
Tis' hidden from the great and wise
Just what a smart ass knows
And I was ass-tounded when I learned
The truthful tail his record shows
For despite the reputation
Of being just a twit
The bray betrays in such a way
Of knowing quite a bit
Twas he who saved mad Balaam
From the righteous wrath of God
For fools rush in on hob nailed shoes
Where asses and angels fear to trod
When Christ the Lord was born on earth
When God became a man
It took the ass to take them inn
His humble stall brought forth God's plan
So if anyone would ask you
Just why an ass is smart
The answer lies behind those eyes
That take God's word to heart
Are you blind or can you see
The plan of God unfold?
Or will you fall like Balaam did
Though by an ass you too were told?
For though this poem is silly
Its message rings so true
Mule it over in your mind
Just what kind of an ass are you?
HEE HAW
