Canada geese a-flying--
What a thrilling sight they are.
Canada geese in the parking lot--
Watch when you walk to your car.

Canada geese in formation
Nature's majestic fleet.
Canada geese on the sidewalk--
Watch where you put your feet.

Canada geese against the clouds.
Thrill at their heavenly climb.
Canada geese in the parking lot.
Careful, don't slip on the slime.

Well written, with a comical nature, the title caught my eye instantly since I am Canadian afterall. However, I'm not sure if your're praising Canadian geese or mocking them,( maybe you're doing a little of both) but, you could have named the geese "american geese," but instead choose to name them Canadian, so I'm not so sure if I am impressed with your mocking.

Take care,

Dom Mart.....

           This was good, and funny, too!
    I'm in Alaska, and we get huge flocks
    of geese here.

             I especially liked the
                  ending!!!!!


Your words become music to my soul......

Dom~
This is indeed a comedic take at the masses of the Canada Geese in migration.
But, oh what joy to see their flight.


*Melissa~
Soothe your little ruffled feathers -
Canada Geese are a beautiful sight and
they come in great numbers on their migration paths from Canada.
Often millions of them are in the migratory paths ...

I really love this - next to swans, these are my favorite birds... and for those who haven't experienced life with these wonderful creatures - who will eat out of your hand once they trust you..... that slime is GREEN
