I've had just enough time to... see pretty geese on the way to market
Taken on the way to work one fine morning
One fine morning on the way to work
I saw three geese riding on a truck
That is nothing strange
Till they started talking
And I could understand what was said
“Yahoo! It is fun riding on a truck”
The others agreed in splutter and gurgle
“The kind farmer is giving us a ride
To the market in this fine pick-up truck”
“What is a market?” One asked
“It is what we live for, what we eat for”
The farmer told us “You’re such pretty creatures.
Raised to be admired.”
“Look at the poor guy at the wheel”
And they babble and blabber and blather
“He has to work to live because he is ugly!”
And they chatter and prattle and tattle
Then the light changed
And the truck moved and the geese
Were on their way and they called out
“Bye bye ugly, go to
work!”
And their laughter echo
all the way to the market…
