Where White Goose Goes


white goose, white goose

fly away home

John found white feathers

up creek

the farmer not home



white goose, white goose

swim for your nest

John found white feathers

down creek

beseeched the preacher

to bless



white goose, white goose

walk the road to the right

John found bloody feathers

evidentially a fight



white goose, white goose

take the left turning path

away from fox's footprints

and the hungry hunter's wrath



white goose, white goose

stay where you are

food, shelter, and friends

though some may find

the company bizarre
