Truculent Goose!

HOOOONK!

What's small and white and full of fight, Won't back down day or night? Charges dogs three times its size?

A truculent goose, surprise!

HONK HONK!

It guards the pond, it owns the lake, It chases anything that moves. The jogger ran, the tractor turned — This bird has nothing left to prove!

TRUCULENT! Truck-yoo-lent! It comes out swinging, bold! TRUCULENT! Truck-yoo-lent! Brave as ten birds, all controlled!

HOOOONK!

What hisses loud and flaps its wings, And dares the whole big world? Stands its ground on tiny feet?

A truculent goose, unfurled!

TRUCULENT! Truck-yoo-lent! It comes out swinging, bold! TRUCULENT! Truck-yoo-lent! Brave as ten birds, all controlled!

honk.

Then a duckling waddled up beside it...

and they marched off together,

two tiny generals on parade.
