Aphorisms
Mom used to say

“You’re as Lost as a Goose in a Snow Storm”,
But a loggerheaded kid thought that was the norm.
Or “What’s good for the Goose is good for the Gander”
Keep that in mind when tempted to slander.
“Never kill the Goose that lays the golden egg”
You’ll wind up poor and someday have to beg.
Son, “Feather by Feather a Goose is plucked”
The down is for pillows that I’ll soon construct.
You can’t fill a round hole using a square peg,
And I’ve heard “A Wild Goose, never laid a tame egg”
