The Stinky Old Goat

An Old Goat in a boat rowed off shore. He caught perch in his search and much more. So full was his boat, there's trout in his coat Eau de fish was his scent evermore! a/a/b/b/a 9/9/6/6/9 anapest meter

An hilarious write, Debbie! I suppose he'd been worried about using the bridge? "Eau de fish" would be a "Stinky" enough cologne...he might be able to bottle it to sell on ebay? Best to you and yours! Mikki
