Do We Have As Much Sense As A Goose?
By Akbar Khan
A flock of geese flying in a formation ‘V’
Much research reveals what you do not see
Each bird in front by flapping its wing
Creates an uplift for the goose following
Flying in ‘V’ formation they change
By 71% plus their flying range
Common direction and a sense of community
Our efforts become quick and easy
If a goose falls out of formation by chance
It feels greater drag and resistance
If we have as much sense as a goose we’ll stay
In formation with those headed our way
When tired the lead goose rotates to the rear
Another taking its place in the air
It pays, while doing hard jobs, to take turns
Thus no one is over burdened or get burns
The geese in the back honk from behind
Encouraging, gentle and kind
We must encourage others as they strive
To meet the daily grind of life
If a goose gets sick and or wounded
If for some reason it gets grounded
Two geese fall out of formation
They keep it company and for protection
Stay with it until it flies or dies
Such are the depths of their ties
If we humans have the sense of a goose
Their way of life is what we’d choose
