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!

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
