Honk! Honk!
The geese have arrived.

They’re here!
Honk!
They’re back!
Honk! Honk!
The geese have returned
on their annual fly
To make a squawk, a mess
… and to multiply.
I’d begun to think they
had passed us by.
Found some better digs.
Somewhere else nearby.
But why, when there’s the
pond, the creek and the kill?
No better place …
… they’re honking still.
Alas, won’t be forever, but then,
nothing is.
For now though, there’ll be
honking and flapping
… and building a nest.
Then the best.
Swimming lessons
in the pond, single file.
Get in line.
Poppa in front, momma
in the back …
or vice versa. I’m not sure.
Not a specialty of mine.
Matters not, though.
They’re here!
Ours for a while,
on their annual fly.
To make some noise, some mess … and to multiply.
