Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott
In the cold refused to squat
He lived on a boat
That refused to float.

Awesome to see you participated in my contest, Phyllis. Big congrats. So tell me, did he really live on such a boat??

Thanks for the placement on your contest. Yes there is a boat called Walter Scott but I don't think he lived on it.
