The Goat and Me

In a field I saw a goat Eating grass that day I felt so sorry for him And thought he’d like to play And here I thought he was So sad to be that way I thought he needed attention So I planned to see him that day But what a fool was I you see I really didn’t click Why would he be all alone? In a field so green and thick So I squeezed through the fence And straight into the grass He didn’t seem to flinch Or look as I walked past But then I saw his eye And saw his chewing cease He didn’t look so happy And lost that look of peace There I was standing In this field alone A goat looking angry And me so far from home So I started running And there began the chase Through the field of flowers Running with no grace Stumbling and stamping While he kicked behind Scared that I would be beat up And I would not be fine And so I jumped the fence And got safely out While he chewed my jumper He had in his mouth And looking at that goat now I can clearly see Why there was a fence Between him and me
