OED caught my eye one day
With a word I barely remember
It sent me questing Wikipedia
Uniting thoughts I ought dismember
Seeking detailed revelation
As words come rolling of one's
tongue
How the state of casks and vessels
Protect your lading with a bung
Ullage is from history drawn
When filling Vats required a
bunghole
Ullage there as portion
of air
Avoiding spillage through the plughole
Taxman's eyes for declarations
On matters of vacant places
Agreed that space above the low
rim
Is unworthy of his chases
On matters stated in between
Averting impractical pouring’s
If air and waste are absent of
taste
That’s Ullage tax-free reassuring
That’s Ullage tax-free reassuring
