Whilst swimming in a deep castle moat
A goat ate my brand new coat!
And when I did complain
She said, “I am Jane.
And you are the butt of this joke!

Who worked as a stock market investor.

Dearth
Summers grow dry.
But sceptics deny,
And welcome grapes in England’s
Once green and pleasant land.
The watering can and hosepipe
Refresh the earth
Day and night.
There is a dearth.
For, I find
Within the sceptic’s mind
A different kind,
Of drout.
