There is also a parody of "Father Dear Father . . " called "The Death of the Donkey" in which the house is gradually cleared out by the bailiffs and the donkey gets more and more sick. It ends:

Father, Dear Father come home with me now,
The clock in the hal it strickes three,
The house it is ransacked and left empty quite
There's no-one but donkey and me.
The cat's on the roof tiles, the donkey is dead,
His soul it has taken its flight,
But all is not lost, the horse doctor says,
He'll be turned into sausage tonight.
