Good thing I'm not a poacher;
I'm not a law encroacher.
I may have my flaws
But I obey laws;

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The first two lines were written back in March when I drove past some fields where there were two Canada Geese about every 100 meters. They seemed to be nesting pairs. I thought how easy it would be to harvest them.

The other two lines were written today, but I invite my friends to help me come up with a good fifth line.

I tried

Does your daughter need training? I'll coach her.

but that doesn't seem to go with the rest of the poem unless the daughter needs training on how to obey the laws.

Not a true rhyme, Smoky, but I really like the idea behind it. Thanks!

Kosher bacon? Very funny line, Dan, but I don't think it fits the poem.

Nice try, but who is SHE? This pronoun has no antecedent. Thanks anyway, Wes. I'll be checking in on Oogie later.

I had to look up the word CLOTURE to see what it meant. My dictionary says: The closure of a Congressional debate. Thanks for teaching me a new word.

Very nice thought. Fits in with the rest of the poem, but not a very good rhyme. Thanks for the suggestion.
