I ONCE WROTE A NOTE

 

I once wrote a note

Writ on paper, hue of oat

Not of literary note

Worth less than a groat

Full of unimportant quote

Not worthy to promote

No ego should it bloat

No means to gloat

But it got my vote

 

The note I wrote

I put in my coat

The coat that I tote

The one on which I dote

The one with stoat

About the throat

My favourite coat

Now held my note

 

But I left the coat

That housed my note

Upon a boat

“The rampant goat”

That was afloat

In a bay remote

The note, the coat,

And the boat did float

 

So where was my note?

Memorized by rote

In my favourite coat

With throat of stoat

Floating like a mote

On some distant boat

With no shelter of cote

The note, the coat,

On that blasted boat
