Mathilda
© Michael LeBlanc/C. Stewart (Oct. 19, 2013 )


I got a goose named Mathilda
She likes it when I play my songs
I play the blues by the willow tree
While she sadly honks along

I ride Mathilda in the meadow
For her size, she's quite strong
I'm a goosy, happy fellow
And she gladly honks along

CHORUS....
Mathilda, she don't need no flock
My goose, is happy with me
She won't take to the sky, she won't fly

I got a goose named Mathilda
My hurdy gurdy turns her on
I sing about pink gorillas
She laughingly honks along

But one day sweet Mathilda
Will sadly be long gone
Her down will be my pillow
I'll dream of when she honked along


CHORUS

Very sweet little tune.

You guys do know they make pillows from Geese? You could easily put a twist at the end incorporating that idea.

Nice guitar playing Calvin.

Peace,

Ian

Hi Ian,

Thanks a lot for listening...

But one day sweet Mathilda
Will sadly be long gone
I'll give her a soft pillow
And dream of when she honked along

Will sadly be long gone
I'll take her soft down for a pillow
And dream of when she honked along

I was actually thinking of something a little darker. A bit of shock value, dark comedy at the end. EG, maybe something like:

But one day sweet Mathilda
Will sadly be long gone
But I'll make her feathers into a pillow
And dream of when she honked along
