What the Green Grass
Has to Say
Three gray
geese in the green grass grazing,
Grazing in the
grassy grove
And gazing at
their grazing.
Why do the geese
In the green
grass grazing
Cock their ears
and gaze intently
At their grassy
grazing,
While they’re
in the green grass grazing?
Because the grass
has things to say,
Extols the
benefits of hay,
Declaims good
verse
(A nursery lay)
About gray goosey
gander
In the green
grass at play,
About gray
goosey gander
In the green grass
grazing.
