Down at the park ...

Had quite a lark

A score of geese ...

Stood ground unteased



Holding the playing field

At mound and at batter box

Others covered runs heeled

A few in outfield looked lost 



Tossed ball near, for the dog

As geese looked in a fog ...

But did not budge their stance

Checking fielders with glance



Picked up ball and tossed it again

Geese then perched, awareness high

Watched dog catch ball before drain

Abruptly, geese then took to the sky ...
