Where Poetry Goes to Die: Inverted Haikus on the Laying Geese of Christmas

Thursday, December 30, 2010

I've been told by my father

That, Dickens aside,

Geese are very fatty birds.

So, lay what eggs you care to,

I shan't be eating,

Not from one nor six of ye.

John said...: You won’t eat goose eggs and jam?
Won’t eat them along side spam?
Won’t eat them with a grand slam?
Won’t eat them even for Uncle Sam?

Would you eat them with a fork?
Would you try them along side pork?
Would you order them in New York
Not even if a gift from Mork?

So when then would you?
Will you eat them in chair?
Will you share them with a bear?
I think your reluctance totally unfair!; December 30, 2010 at 6:32 PM
W.B. Picklesworth said...: Goose jam and eggs?
Have mercy, I begs.
Don't make me eat
Lest I vomit the treat.; December 31, 2010 at 7:22 AM
