Today is my day! I’ve been given a name!

When you have your own name, life is never the same!

I have my own name now, and so has my boat.

Shall I say what he called me? He called me ‘That Goat’!

I’ll say how I know. I had gone out to try

My boat on the moat; and I can’t tell you why

But he wanted to find me. He said to my stoat –

I heard him distinctly – ‘Oh where is That Goat?’

So that’s how I learnt of the name that is mine.

And all of today I was high on cloud nine.

Tomorrow, with paint, we shall name my good boat.

Perhaps it’s the first ever boat called ‘That Goat’.

He’s put his name forward, he told me today,

To stand in the council elections in May.

I’ll study his papers with care – the whole lot,

To see if I like what he stands for or not.

I’ll read all the others as well, just to see

Which candidates really will work best for me.

I can see myself now, as ‘The Goat with a Vote’;

Together we’ll settle it, me and my stoat.
