John Williams Poet Rhyme

The Goose and the Dog

A dog and a goose 
For some unknown reason,
Fell hopelessly in love
Last Spring season.

He serenaded her
With his barking voice,
She wobbled at the wings
With his barking choice.

Next he started plucking 
His country guitar,
He pawed out a tune,
She fell in love so far.

Then they sailed on 
A river boat cruise,
He howled at the moon,
Then sung her the blues.

Now both have returned
To their rustic farm,
Goose still swooning 
At his doggy charm.

They moved in together 
In a haystack barn,
He tends to sheep
While she knits their yarn.

Lindsay Laurie May 4, 2015 at 8:27 PM G'day John... this is a good combination John because its often said that a goose is the best 'watchdog' that you can have. Enjoyed this satire - Lindsay John Williams May 4, 2015 at 9:15 PM I knew a goose was a good warning system but I just wasn't thinking of that when I was writing. Thanks for making the connection for me. Glad you enjoyed it Lindsay......kind regards----John
