The Goose is the universe’s most majestic and loved creature. I thought they deserved a haiku too. So I wrote one!
The Goose Likes To Honk
She Honks At You Honks At You
Chasing You For Bread
If you ever see a goose in need, whether injured, acting strangely, or unable to fly, please call for help. They deserve safety, space, and maybe even a little bread. It would mean the world to me 🪿
