Horseshoe.

A young man once went to sea on a plank
But once it got wet his floating plank sank
And when it dried out his sinking plank bent
But once it was straightened it held up a tent.
And when the tent sold it made twenty quid
But once the buyer got home the tent it was hid
And when it was found it had handles to hold
But once it was carried it got very cold
And when it warmed up it glowed like a fire
But once it went out it joined the church choir.
And when the choir sang the bells they would ring
But once they were ringing the message would ping
And when it was read the sender was dead
And so the young man should have eaten his bread!

The prompt today was a nonsense nursery rhyme.
