Ghetto Goose

A goose walked right in front of my car as I was heading into a parking lot the other day.  I expected it to run away or something.

Instead it stood right in front of me and HISSED as if to say, "Whatcha lookin at me for, fool?"

So I honked at it because I needed to get through and it HISSED again and swiveled its neck from side to side..."Oh no you didn't!"  Oh yes I did...MOVE, GOOSE!

So maybe it was a mom defending her nest area?  But in a parking lot?  Uh-uh.  I had a ghetto goose on my hands...

So I crept up really near and waited...FINALLY the goose gave up and walked away reaaaaallllly slowly, as if to personally insult me with her goose ghetto slowness.  As I started to roll forward, it glanced back at me and HISSED again...

..."Whatchur problem?  I'm goin as faaaaast as I can!  Don't rush me...it's just 'cause I'm a goose isn't it?..."  Geez...what a goose...

Each one salutes me as he goes,
And I my childish plumes
Lift, in bereaved acknowledgement
Of their unthinking drums.
