Poetry Break: I Did Not Kill the Canada Goose

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, ,

Birdslaughter has been heavy on my mind
golfing on a Monday I hit a goose
with a long nine iron shot that landed in a gaggle of Canada Geese on the third hole
bird down!

Convulsing
causing my guilt to go pulsating
but the fellow righted himself and looked a bit stunned
like gas in the United States I was a bit fracked
and with guilt racked
so I played through a bit rattled
hoping the witnesses would not tattle
but thrown for a loop when an old a massive dead goose was carted away on a Friday
but wait my hit on the bird was a Monday!
which I only realized was not the Friday death day
the bird police have no grounds to haul me away
as a result of this tragic day
I suppose then tonight I need not pray for forgiveness for a deed I did not commit
crudely said it is great not feeling like shit
