The Baker's belongings

 There was one who was famed for the number of things
 He forgot when he entered the ship:
 His umbrella, his watch, all his jewels and rings,
 And the clothes he had bought for the trip.

The loss of his clothes hardly mattered, because
 He had seven coats on when he came,
 With three pairs of boots--but the worst of it was,

 He had wholly forgotten his name.
