(This is a very old story that I had heard and thanks to
sri Rajagopal srinivasan, I remembered it) 
Lakshmana  
fell  in the battle  with Indrajit,
And Hanuman was 
given order  to bring  Sanjeevini herb,
And he flew in the sky 
, could locate the mountain,
But not the herb, brought 
the mountain  and Lakshmana got
up.
After  reaching
Ayodhya  , Hanuman submitted  a 
bill,
For drawing  
his   tour allowance     and it  
was rejected,
The  accounts  officer told 
, Rama was not the king ,
And so could not sanction the   tour, Hanuman  being,
A class four   officer is not entitled to fly  and as it was ,
Not needed to bring the mountain , excess baggage  is not allowed.
Hanuman made representation to Lord Rama   who was,
Unable   to
instruct   his accounts officer   and 
requested him,
To withdraw his bill 
but   the finance minister  of Rama,
Called  the
accounts officer   and threatened  him with dire consequences.
Next day   the bill
was passed and now   the accounts officer
wrote,
Though Rama was not the king , as he was officer in
charge  at Ayodhya ,
And he could sanction the tour   and allow Hanuman to fly due to emergency,
And allow him excess baggage  because had Hanuman brought ,
The wrong medicine , he 
has to again undertake the tour 
and that too by air.
