A Goat In a Suit
A goat in a suit
was appointed farm manager
in a potatoes farm he worked
He was always smart and sharp
when he harvested potatoes
half he ate, half he took as evidence
When asked how much potatoes
he took to market
he often replied;
“How can a smart goat in a suit
steal mere potatoes?
Open my stomach
and check to confirm
boil the meat and eat
if it tastes potatoes
then demote me
if it does not, then pay me
all potatoes in the farm
