The Feria del Burro

Have you been to Otumba before?

Perhaps you have not heard
Of the Feria del Burro

The Donkey Faire

In that case
You are in for a wonderful treat

Because not only are you going to be present
For the greatest festival in the world
But you are staying
With the future winner
Of the Feria del Burro Costume Contest

This is--Apestoso

He is the smelliest donkey
In all of Otumba

But don't let his vile odor fool you

This donkey
When dressed in the proper garments
Bears a striking resemblance
To Frida Kahlo

Oh, I know what you're thinking

A thousand donkeys in Mexico
Look like Frida Kahlo
And most of them
Don't smell like they've rolled around
In raw sewage

But Apestoso has a secret weapon

HE CAN PAINT!

And not just paint
But replicate
All of Kahlo's work

It is as if she has been reborn
With a tail
And a penetrating aroma
That has caused me to pass out
Many a time

This donkey will take the fair by storm!

...And if it doesn't win

I will sue the fair
For discrimination against smelly animals

My cousin is a lawyer
A good one, too

Now, if you'll excuse me
I need to cultivate Apestoso's eyebrow
He may not be much of a donkey
But he's one hell of an artist
