 the gypsy poet

six ganders a walking


    







Signatures By
The Tired Lion




 

      six ganders went missing
      from the mannings farm one day
      they had all had enough
      they had all decided to run away

      old granfer he looked
      and he asked grandson ray
      have you seen the ganders anywheres today

      they looked in the cow shed
      they looked on the canford heath
      they looked in the copper house
      they looked in the meadows
      they wernt with the sheep

      they looked in the allotments
      they looked in the pigs stys
      they looked in the brickyard
      the gravel pits too
      and asked folks going by
      have you seen the ganders
      anywhere in poole

      the ganders had scarpered
      couldnt be found
      just then the dorset echo boy
       brought the daily papers around
      they were there on the front page
      six ganders been found
      their picture so bold
      headlines -six ganders go a walking
      along wallisdown road

      theyd stopped all the traffic
      they caused a great din
      their hissing n squawking
      twas a terrible sin

      we went to the cop shop
       to take them back home
      those naughty six ganders
      that went on the roam
