Bruce the Goose

Allow me to introduce you to
Bruce, the one legged goose
a known troublemaker
who stole my front tooth.

The waddler pulled it out
with a string that he flung,
then he quickly escaped on
a spring that he sprung.

The spring was quite bouncy
the bounce was quite high
his quack quite concerning
flying in uncharted skies.

He would not come down,
he demanded a ransom
my tooth for his leg
such false accusations!


Silly goose, look around you
and then you shall see,
your peg-leg is up there
in the limb of that tree.

Bruce The Goose~ The Sequel

Bruce the goose looked around
and couldn't quite see,
his peg-leg up there
in the limb of the tree.

The one-legged goose
mischievous as he was,
forgot his appointment
with ole Doc McFudge.

An optometrist by trade,
ole Doc was upset
when he found Bruce he climbed
up that tree, by himself.

"You forgot your appointment
and you owe me some money,
get down from this tree
and quit being funny!"

"Without my peg-leg,"
Bruce quickly proclaimed,
"I cannot get down
for fear I'll be maimed."

By this time a crowd formed
and caused quite a jam
Bruce sat up in the tree laughing,
with my tooth in his hand.
