If you can't believe it isn't listed, can you believe there's a perfect list for it?

Have ever you harked to the jackass wild
Which scientists call the onager?
It sounds like the laugh of an backward child
Or a hepcat on a harmonica.
But do not sneer at the jackass wild
There's method in his heehaw
For with maidenly blush and accent mild
The jenny-ass answers shee-haw.
-- Ogden Nash
