THE BOYS

First there was just one,
No fun, so they got another.
Two old geese whom loved each other!
Best Watch-Dogs, ever,
sound like a car bleeper!
Their fence joined mine in the backyard.
Way out in the country, farmyard.
Each time my door opened, H@NK, H@NK, H@NK!
My big old mountain boots, with some food,
Clonk, Clonk, Clonk.....
Instant friends, forever!
My "Toastie" dog takes after her mistress,
Will protect any critters with boldness.
Sometimes bad dogs would jump their fence,
Killing instincts quite intense, "The Boys"
without any defense!
"Toastie" would scale the wall, daring anything
to even come close to her ganders!
These geese were hers, no unwelcome
guests or callers!
Best "Watch-Dogs" around,
Not even close, they'd H@NK,H@NK,H@NK
their sound!
Even in the middle of the night....
Slightest twitch or twain, they'd H@NK their alarm,
All is not all right!
Wyoming in summer, doors open,
If "The Boys" H@NK, 6 dogs awaken
Dogs don't ask....off they go....
Strangers walk all around the lot
to save the encounter of their woe!
But this night was different.
"Toastie" was trying to make a statement.
She just kept waking me up time & again!
I checked, couldn't find any "Boogymen!"
Finally I took my flashlight.
Found "The Boys" sound asleep for the night.
Heads tucked way down in their wings.
They appeared "Headless" to Toastie girl,
Alarmed Feelings!
As soon as I could arouse them,
and they said, H@NK, H@NK, H@NK, to us.
Toastie realized they were flawless,
Walked back into the house.
Her puzzle solved, she was joyous!
It was a sad, sorrowful and Satanic day
When they moved and took our "Boys" away!
No more H@NKS, no more visits to my back window in my bedroom.
Without their lovely H@NKING, 'Twas like a tomb!
They had a piece of our heart, now hollow...
Toastie, especially felt much sorrow.
Over the fence at least twice a day.
Searchng for her "Boys" thinking,
they had gotten out, and gone astray!
When Easter rolls around, we're buying
Toastie & me a goose or two.
Critters with web feet, she loves to rescue...
No other creatures could replace our Geese, but,
We can't stand the Still Silent Solitude,mixed
with Perfect Peace!

Who'd think a dog would care
With friendly geese no longer there
It's Connie Sue who fills us in
with facts about the critters din |
