A very grandiloquent Goat / Sat down to a gay table d'hote; / 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. "
