You Are Old, Father William
"You are old, Father William," the young man said
"And should take care in all that you do;
And yet you defiantly stand on your head--
What the hell is the matter with you?"

“It’s good for the brain,” William said to his son,
“This is very important for poets.”
“Need you a rhyme? I always have one,”
“Uh … something something goats.”
(I guess you should pronounce that "go-ats.")
Thanks for the second stanza. I was trying to remember the poem, and that's as good as I could do without looking it up. Last line:
"In my youth, I was mentored by go-ats."
