“SCHEDULOUS INTERRUPTUS”
The Guard wants to close Gates,
But geese and their younger mates…
Are wandering
And pondering
At feeding frenzied rates.
–
AHA! they’ve suddenly swarmed,
Inside as if warned…
It’s growing dark
And time to park
In the pond before predators swarm!
–
The gates are closed at last,
Despite flock-sized droppings cast…
He watched his stepping
By careful schlepping,
So his shoes wouldn’t stick fast!
