Daddy Goose, you silly goose! Your name brings back a memory You see...my Daddy had a goose When I was maybe three We named him Goosey Gander After a nursery rhyme (Which I can't remember Not after all this time) We lived on a farm back then And Goosey was Daddy's buddy When Mom went out, Goosey came in Even if his feet were muddy Daddy would sneeze and Goosey would honk Then Daddy would give a cheer Daddy sneezed, Goosey honked Time for another drink of beer Well Mom was none too happy When she came in the door To see Daddy sleeping at the kitchen table And Goosey passed out on the floor Oh what a mess they had made There was beer cans and goose poop everywhere Mom wanted Goosey sent to slaughter But Daddy snuck him off somewhere You see... Daddy couldn't kill his drinking buddy So he gave Goosey to the old lady down the street But this was not a happy ending for Daddy The old lady came and thanked him for the good eat! ~*~ This was a true story! ~*~ [This message has been edited by katahdin (09-16-2011 12:59 AM).] |

I understand it must have been very hard to come to terms with such a sad epilogue! To love our animals and our pets also includes the cleaning up of their disasters and it may not always be funny. ((((Karen)))) |

"You see... Daddy couldn't kill his drinking buddy So he gave Goosey to the old lady down the street But this was not a happy ending for Daddy The old lady came and thanked him for the good eat!"
