Domesticated Geese

There once were white domesticated geese
Who were haughty and proud
Totally self-absorbed with group
Honked very long and loud

They stayed contained within their space
Strutted in their whiteness
As if they were graceful as swans
Swans suppress in rightness

canadian geese 
flew high overhead that day...
winter cold forcast

canadian geese
on migratory flight south...
predicts winter cold

When domesticated geese saw the elegant flight, realized that thoughts not right..

Somehow, I got the idea that the white geese were inhabitants of a planet that were being visited by extraterrestrials represented by the Canadian geese. I'm sure this interesting write can be interpreted in other ways.
