THE POOPER SCOOPER TROOPER!!!!
When goose parades swagger by,
The Trooper comes in view….
He has his trusty snow shovel
To scrape away the “poo”.
–
He works only daytime shift,
Which really is a blessing….
Because the geese go back home
By evening to do their messing.
–
Doesn’t matter as much on the grass
Or in the cloudy water…
But stepping into liquid goose poo
After dark is really a bother!
–Jonathan Caswell
MODERN GROUNDS-KEEPING
When I was working, the boss and I,
Spent all season’s labor sprucing up the “sty”…
Now-a-days with labor not exactly cheap,
Administration hires a crew
And does it in one heap!
–
They are doing things we never could get done,
Raking out the grass to encourage growing some…
Nicely craft the mulch and edge professionally,
Trimming ’round the hedges and bushes to a “T”!

THE BROKEN WING GANG
This group is terrorizing
Our grounds these cold winter days…
They’re out to see what they can snatch,
To see if thievery pays.
–
The broken wing is Momma,
Who often winters alone…
But this year the kids and their Dad
She insisted would stay around home.
–
They’ve actually been pretty good of late
Until this sunny day…
Yes pretty good for a half-dozen geese
Who anoint the sidewalks with grey.
–
The broken wing gang has broken out,
Leaving webbed foot prints in the snow…
Not much green grass so this too will pass
‘Til later in the year, or so!
–Jonathan Caswell
