Alas

Canadian Goose

One hopes in Canada

They know better than us

It was a Canadian Goose who angrily honked,

“Alas! Alas! The water here is unfit to drink

And the polluted rivers stink

They are full of paper cups and aluminum cans carelessly tossed

What ungodly creatures do such things?

What uncomprehending beasts?

Who care, not in the least, for me

There really seems to be no use,

For a silly goose

Like me

Alas, it is late, perhaps too late

For a goose who knows

it is time to fly North this Spring

Pair of Canadian Geese swimming at Chisholm Creek Park
