The Donkey, Delgado is fluffy and round
He walks his own walk; makes his own sound.
What is different about him is what we love most.
The Donkey, this fellow, standing by the fence post
When he brays long and loud it’s a donkey alarm
Tells the world what he wants, it’s part of his charm
He is hungry or thirsty or needs company
This Donkey, Delgado is special to me
He comes to me for a hug and a pet
He is furry and soft -He helps me forget
Long ears to hear all words that I say
Spending moments with him always makes my day!
He is easy to catch; he loves to play
Just feed him some grass and a little hay
His ears are listening; my secrets I tell
As a friend or a pet- he does them both well
The Donkey Delgado, the best thing I’ve found
He makes the world better-Best Friend around!

"So this book is called The Donkey That Never Brayed, and it's based on code eight of the Code of the West, which is Talk Less, say more.
And that is a hard concept for kids to learn and I mean even adults, honestly, I don't still really like talking less and trying to say more, but so the donkey never brays and it is called The Donkey That Never Brayed. And even though he never brays, he communicates perfectly fine. A million other ways."
