But kick he will, no matter how he's headed.

With foresight lacking, hindsight to the fore,

He'll be just simple Mule forevermore;

Without the range or sight he'll blaze away

And thwart his purpose with his brazen bray.

If well-directed effort were his cult

No fortress could withstand his catapult.

A Mule should Conserve

His Ammunition and

Not Shoot-off his Mouth.
