So how was I stuck in Devizes?
Just one of life's little surprises
A boater perverse
Failed to reverse
Causing something of a crisis

So what exactly happened in Devizes?
A barge driver to the tiller he rises
He reverses too late
And knackers the gate
Now one of his wishes is that he dies is

So where on Earth is Devizes?
Quite close to one of Charles's hizes
But let me tell you
There's plenty to do
This place could win several prizes

So what did I do in Devizes?
I adopted several disguises
I went round the town thrice
Houses! Look at the price!
I went monitoring all of the rises

So what can you eat in Devizes?
Well, after meals of various sizes
I weighed up the facts
And sampled the snacks
My favourite? Well obviously, frys is

And finally, there was a young man from Devizes
Who had goolies of varying sizes
One was so small
It was of no use at all
But the other one won several prizes

But I never met him.
