Honking like cabbies on migration south
Avoiding the hunters with watering mouth
This V in the sky of jailbirds loose
The long-neck express, this gaggle of goose
Right from the start they’re all feathers and feet
Till a few months go by and they’re not quite so sweet
Soon they grow bigger with long-neck stuck out
A swaggering walk with their beak and their snout
The restless young bunch with family in tow
Head for the south at the first sign of snow
Leaving the runway like planes that are booked
Hoping the journey doesn’t leave their goose cooked
Honking and jostling for their place in the line
Painting the sky with their victory sign

Here again I have no idea where “Goose” came from when I needed a word for “G”!
Anyway this is the result. I kind of like it actually, it came together pretty nice. I like the cabbies honking, the jailbirds let loose and the image of them taking off like planes on a runway. I don’t know a whole lot about geese, just that I’ve heard that they are pretty mean and will chase and bite you if they get the chance. I kind of like the visual of the hunter getting the best of him and he getting his goose cooked!
