Answer to Question 1

• No, the generic donkey, looking back over the history of his kind.

Answer to Question 2

• The attempts are doomed, not only by the gas stations being saturated with oil, but by the limitations of the family, whose only reading appears to be comic books and whose tastes run to hairy plants and daisy-covered doilies. In line 20, comfy is their word, not the poets own. But the tone of the poem seems to be goodhumored amusement. The sons are quick and saucylikable traits. The gas station cant be beautiful, but at least its owners have tried. In a futile gesture toward neatness, they have even arranged the oil cans in symmetry.
