My Take
DiVoran Lites
I don’t know much about geese.
I know they are big birds with attitude.
I know they are wild or domestic.
I know there are a lot of them in some places.
I know Daddy bought a goose
To fatten for Thanksgiving
And kept it in the shed.
I was supposed to feed it,
But I thought too much and let the goose out
Daddy sent the kids to look for it
All we found was a hut woven of willow branches
Among the willow bushes
Next to Grape Greek.
Inside we saw a mat on the floor
And a picture of a woman
With an old fashioned hair-do
Propped nearby.
When we got home,
Daddy was perturbed, but didn’t punish.
In a big lake in Orlando where swans live too
Geese challenge people for the right of way
And you have to stand up for yourself
After all, God gave dominion did he not?
In that park we saw a woman filling
A plastic bag with large white eggs
Goose eggs or swan eggs?
And taking them to an official looking car.
Where were they going?
