Gus The Sneaky Goose

Written by Tom Radd

By the pond where the willows sway,
Lives a goose named Gus, who loves to play,
His eyes, they twinkle, bright as the day,
When he spots a tasty picnic, he can't stay away.

He loves the bread, he loves the cake,
If it's on your plate, it's his to take.
He's quaint and quiet, oh so slick,
When it comes to filling his beak, he moves super quick.

Gus, Gus, the goose, oh my,
Hungry and on the loose with a glint of mischief in his eye.
He'll take a nibble, maybe two,
When you're not looking, that's his cue.

Sly Gus means well, he means no harm,
He's not equipped to resist the charm,
Of a tasty treat left all alone,
In a picnic basket on top of a small pond stone.

He loves your grapes, he loves your pie,
If it's tasty, he'll give it a try.
He's more than happy to share your snack,
As long as he takes, takes, takes and never gives back.

Gus, Gus, the goose, oh my,
Hungry and on the loose with a glint of mischief in his eye.
He'll take a nibble, maybe two,
When you're not looking, that's his cue.

Better hide your crumbs and drink your juice,
Here comes Gus, the sneaky goose!

Gus, Gus, the goose, oh my,
Hungry and on the loose with a glint of mischief in his eye.
He'll take a nibble, maybe two,
When you're not looking, that's his cue.

So if you're near the pond, please beware,
Gus might sneak up, so prepare,
But don't be mad, don't raise a fuss,
He's just a silly goose, our friend named Gus.
