A.
A gaggle of geese flew high on the wing,
But instead of a Vee, they flew in an Ess.
Now what can explain this peculiar thing?
The gaggle's lead goose, is dyslexic I guess.

B.
A covey of quail was in wheat field's stubble,
A hunter was hunting, which spelled out quail trouble,
But then came meandering, between hunter and quail,
A black and white creature, with long bushy tail,
The hunter U-turned, now who would have thunk,
That that there quail covey, would get saved by a skunk.

C.
A turtle was crossing the highway one night,
When he got spotlighted in a semi's head light,
Was the turtle a goner, would he get eighteen wheeled?
When all the sudden, the semi's wheels squealed.
It seems that truck's driver had fallen a sleep,
And the truck drifted sideways, down an embankment real steep.
The turtle kept crossing, safe and sound in his shell,
And the poor semi-driver, took a detour to Wellington.
