The Grandiloquent Goat

A very grandiloquent Goat Sat down to a gay table d’hôte; He ate all the corks, The knives and the forks, Remarking: “On these things I dote.”

Then, before his repast he began, While pausing the menu to scan, He said: “Corn, if you please, And tomatoes and pease, I’d like to have served in the can.”
