Mother Goose Grows Up

Mother Goose is old Her nest has got cold Her goslings have grown They have nests of their own Now this old Goose is alone Goosey Goosey Gander Decided to wander Some time ago He met a Goose named Flo Without letting his wife know Mother Goose was baffled, And with her feathers ruffled She flew into a rage Which made her gosling scuffle Her goslings have all left, Mother Goose was feeling bereft Her wayward husband is dead He got shot in the head A poacher filled it with lead Now, the grown-up Mother Goose, She was fancy free and footloose One sunny day She went out for a wander And started to quack With an elderly gander The old gander was very spruce, And was immediately attracted To old Mother Goose They soon married All dressed up in their best And lived happily ever after In their shared cosy nest.
