Six Geese A Laying
Have you ever come across a goose who’s laid a nest of eggs?
I’ll tell you now you’d better hope you brought your running legs.
That goose will make a honking sound as loud as she can blast,
Then chase you far away from them; so furious and fast.
So it was hard to work out what my new true love was saying,
When he handed me a box containing six grey geese a laying.
It’s not a bit romantic, or thoughtful, sweet or fun,
To give someone a Christmas gift and then to scream out,
“Run!”
A gorgeous poem, Kylie!
Witty Kylie! i like it. We had a picture book of the song when the kids were small, with every gift turning to a disaster like this – in the pictures!
