The Secret of Woody’s Coat of Many Pockets

For its cathedral Wells is know
Many other sights visitors shown
Vicar’s Close is an ancient street
With cobblestones it is complete
The Bishops Plaice with its moat
All well known so is Woody’s coat

Sports waistcoat or Bullet-proof vest?
Woody's coat is unlike any the rest
With pockets in pockets by the score
Score is twenty may be there’s more
Fastened with zips buttons and stud
Once was green, now the colour of mud

Patched beyond limit of endurance
Double the price for it’s insurance
For some it’s a fright some it’s funny
Won’t part with it for love nor money
Woody's coat brave, courageous and bold
Of man and the coat the story be told

It’s nothing to look at and worn before
So just what is the coat so famous for?
The reason why the coat grew to fame
Can be found in pub with patriotic name
Maybe it’s what those pockets contain
But that’s a secret and so it will remain.
