The LaMancha Goat

Just for fun

I knew a man with a rowing boat

It came with a fine LaMancha goat

But the goat couldn’t row it couldn’t hold and oar

so I traded it to a man for a 3-month boar

But the boar couldn’t help, it didn’t have a thumb,

right about now I was feeling mighty dumb

So I swapped the boar for a hunting dog

but he jumped from the boat and was lost in the fog

So I walked back to town, to the local store

and I saw the old dog lying flat on the floor

I looked at the store-keeper and offered a trade

he gave me some flower, some beans, and his maid

But the maid was lazy, she had never worked in her life

so I took her home and I made her my wife

That didn’t help, she still wouldn’t cook

so I bought the newest edition of a recipe book

She opened the cover and looked inside

turned a few pages, closed it and sighed

I sat down at the table and waited for my meal,

that’s when I realized, I had made a terrible deal

Brings back some of the childhood memories when we used to read such rhyming poems.

Keep up the good work

Shoot somebody and this might be DrSuess meets the Cohens - Its zany nonsense but who doesn't like a pinch of zany nonsense every now and then.
Would make an amazing picture book lol!!
