````Rover's bark, so fierce and loud,
````Scares the noisy, cackling crowd.
````Silly geese, how fast they run!
````Gallant Rover thinks it fun;
````Down the road and up the hill
````Keeps the chase up with a will.=
````Suddenly, with rage possessed,
````One goose, bolder than the rest,
````Turns, and with an angry cry
````Puts to flight the enemy;
````Up the road and down the hill
````Chases Rover with a will!=
--EVA F. L. CARSON.
