Watching the Lake

Loud honks heard from the sky

as a flock of geese land on the path

giving as impression of authority

 keep clear or you'll feel their wrath

see them all standing in a line

as each one surveys across the lake

they look so smart and confident

as this gaggle of geese claim their stake

dressed in their matching livery 

of  black and brown with white chinstrap

holding their head up straight and high

all they need now is a fancy cap!

as these beautiful birds stop by yearly

bringing a smile and joy to my heart

staying while summer spreads its wings

until its autumn, then it`s time to depart
