And never went TO school:
He's born to bear the burdens
The good old army mule.
His hair Is coarse and scrubby
His ears are long and wise.
And In a show for beauty
He wouldn't take a prize. ~
The kicks and cuffs intended
For others as a rule
Are vented on the person
OF the patient army mule.
On many field Of glory
His shattered bones are laid.
An unrecorded hero
or charge and cannonade.
The hard and tiresome marches,
The rest beside the pool
Still find him overloaded
The weary army mule.

On this terrestrial ball,
The Power supreme. all-seeing.
That notes the sparrow's fall.
And measures beast and driver
BY one celestial rule.
Be sure will not forget him
The poor old army mule.
