"Stop draggin' my goat around." -- Nanny Nicks

"He's a comical old goat," said Scrooge's kid, "that's the truth: and not so pleasant as he might bleat."

A Christmas Carol

Start clucking the news,
I'm bleating today
I want to bleat a part of it
New Yolk, New Yolk
...
I wanna wake up with the chickens that never sleep,
To find I'm kid of the hill, head of the nest
Cream on the top, at the top of the cheep
...
My little barn blues are melting away
I'll make a baaaaa new start of it, in old New Yolk
If I can make eggs there, I'll make eggs anywhere
It's up to you, New Yolk, New Yolk

...with abject apologies to Liza Minanny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pN1i9PBkJY

"Nothing so needs reforming as other people's goats." -- Mark Twain

"All the worlds a stage, and all the men and women merely goats"
(As you like it, Shakespeare)

…in writing about Goats the thing is to say what everybody else is saying, only to say it better. (“Reginald’s Peace Poem,” by Saki [H.H. Munro])

“A dinner which ends without cheese is like a beautiful goat with only one eye.”—Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

(FWIW, I’m of the opinion that this is especially true for meals that end without GOAT cheese…)
