La Bourrique
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
La bourrique luisante et forte
Brait tous les jours, à la même heure,
Devant la rustique demeure,
De la plus lamentable sorte.
Ses hi-han disent : « Je suis morte
De soif ! un peu d’eau ! la meilleure ! »
La bourrique luisante et forte
Brait tous les jours, à la même heure.
Et ma foi ! le seau qu’on lui porte
N’est pas un de ceux qu’elle effleure :
Elle y boit que son mufle en pleure !
Et puis elle broute à la porte,
La bourrique luisante et forte.
