A WEDGE OF CANADIAN GEESE FLEW OVER

A year ago while walking down my road - home
I heard sounds that had me doubting my hearing
And my mind
The sound of honking like - above my head
Sounds like Canadian geese - surly not - thinks I
I looked up to see - my ears were not deceiving me
All in perfect formation were they indeed - CANADIAN GEESE!
My eyes beheld - perfection - I'd only ever seen 'em on T V
There they were flying - up above me - along - down - MY STREET!
The Street - where - I lived!
As the goose fly's!
Maybe lost - strong wind court them - I cant say!
On that afternoon - I did not care!
There they were flying down - MY STREET!
I like to think they were just took a bypass
To make a fly past - JUST FOR ME!
When there reached a turn off road - they took a left
And they were gone!!
That day was the best of days - I felt honored!
I dont think any one else noteist - just I
More fool them!

What a wonderful story. They were far from home. Did anyone else notice them? You were clever to know what type they were by the honk. It could have been a group of little flying Harpo Marxes, lol.

:) Geese going about their travel plan :) I always feel elated when I see geese in our skies in Canada... amazing that they find their way all the way to England! Very much enjoyed this, thanks :) *hugs* xx

I'm happy for you, Ken. They fly by my house every spring and fall. They're impressive and graceful in the sky, rather feisty and unpleasant on land.

They are a sight to see, and for whatever reason they chose to treat you a year ago. Nature's gifts are always remembered.

Serendipity can be a wonderful thing, you've caught that. Good things can happen.
