A Body In a Coat

Still grotesquely afloat
Belly ready to bloat
His last meal A Milked Oat
And then hard rowed a boat
But with a shot was downed
And the next thing was drowned!

His harsh look watchers note
And at it his foes gloat
And ample time devote
The perplexed by A Quote
He could not learn by rote …

Nor read what scholars wrote.

Rather in love with oat
And enthused about coat …

Now, helpfully The Drowned
For Book-free underground.
