Notes About The Poem

 

 

IMAGE FROM PIXABAY - BUT MY GOAT LOOKED JUST LIKE THIS

A Pet Minichu

My lovely nanny goat
an unusual gift for my thirteenth birthday
shiny coat

Dad would milk her 
I’d carry all the milk away
White fur

Cute pet
Loved to eat hay
wet

My lovely nanny goat
I’d carry all the milk away
Wet

*a true story I had a nanny goat 'Susie' for my 13th birthday, when we purchased her she was in kid and once the kids had been weaned we used to milk her twice every day. Her favourite food was very ripe bananas!

Caren Krutsinger April 16, 2021 at 10:36 AM I love the look of this goat; I imagine she lived to a ripe old age? Did she butt anyone? Just had to ask. Lovely Jan! Jan Allison April 18, 2021 at 6:38 PM She lived to a grand age and yes she did headbutt someone who broke into her shed - we think he was trying to steal her or one of her kids - we heard frantic bleating and then saw this young guy running lol:-) hugs jan xx

Jennifer Proxenos April 16, 2021 at 9:20 AM Again a co-incidence I have written a poem about a goat but have not posted it, was not for a contest but after reading this lovely write, I might still post it. I enjoy goats, such loving animals, the villages in Greece have many goats and a roast goat on the spit (shame I'm sorry) is delicious! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Jan Allison April 18, 2021 at 6:36 PM I was fine reading your comment up until reading about roast goat lol:-) thanks jennifer lol lol;-) hugs Jan xx

Kaveesha Ruwindi April 15, 2021 at 11:21 PM Awww so sweet! I've never had a goat, i always thought it was awesome to have one. Best of luck for the contest. Jan Allison April 18, 2021 at 6:34 PM You need a decent amount of land for them, we had an acre on our smallholding:-) hugs Jan xx

Alexis Y. April 15, 2021 at 6:29 PM Hi Jan, I enjoyed your poem about your pet goat. I liked it even more when I read that it was a true story. I've had a pet cat, dog, and a roster( chickens) growing up. But not a goat which I think would have been cool, by the way. Best wishes for the contest. Have a wonderful evening:-) Alexis Jan Allison April 18, 2021 at 6:30 PM we had a small holding when I grew up with chickens, pigs nd i asked for a goat and got Susie for my 13th birthday:-) hugs Jan xx
