A Toy Boat Or a Boy Goat

Sell me a toy boat or a boy goat
Make that one boy goat, two toy boats
No: Two boy goats, one toy boat
Wait. Make it one boy goat named Roy Oates

Ha, ha: Back again with soy oats
Soy oats for boy goats, not for toy boats
Toy boats, not boy goats, deploy decoy floats
So, that's two toy boats, one toy goat
  ~ A coy note: Redeploy McCoy groats for soy oats

Jenish Somadas Date: 1/19/2020 11:35:00 PM I was waiting for this.. Coz, you have tendencies to twist the tongues by your poems.. Great entry in the contest.. lol...You sell toy boat or boy goat.. doesn't matter.. my tongue is aching.. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/20/2020 6:25:00 PM I would say that if you're tongue aches, use a tongue depressor. But I don't want you to get depressed. (Groan). Smiles, Gershon

Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/19/2020 5:58:00 PM Have to admit that the 'toy boat' came from ESL pronunciation drills during my career as a teacher. No magic there. Thanks, Carolyn. Best wishes, Gershon
