A very grandiloquent Goat

Sat down to a gay table d’hôte;

He ate all the corks,

The knives and the forks,

Remarking: “On these things I dote.”

Then, before his repast he began,

While pausing the menu to scan,

He said: “Corn, if you please,

And tomatoes and pease,

I’d like to have served in the can.”
