Bobby Lee Goosey, "What the Green Grass Has To Say"

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.
