On April 30th I told you about the arrival of our five goslings: http://www.baldockbard.co.uk/?p=6898. Unfortunately we only have one left, the others having either been left behind as the geese travel vast distances around the farm or were killed by the fox. As a result the proud Mummy and Daddy (or Mummy and Mummy, or Daddy and Daddy!) are less than friendly towards me and guard ‘Precious’ very closely…
“Get away! Get away!
Don’t you come near.
We’ll make you sorry,
with a bite on your ear!”
“We’ll then chase you,
around the farm,
pen you in a corner,
and break your arm!”
“What’s that you’re carrying?
Could it be food?
To bite the hand that feeds us,
would be very rude!”
“Go on Precious,
say ‘Hello’
He’s come to feed us,
and then he’ll go!”
“Thank you Mr Farmer,
For the handful of wheat,
Do come again tomorrow,
with tasty food to eat!”
