Outside, outside

I wish I could go

But my parents have said

Absolutely not—NO!

For there in the yard

Is a quite wild goat

Who eats all in sight

Even my Dad’s new bass boat

And my folks might be right

This goat looks tenacious

Consuming our stuff

His appetite is voracious

But what of my chance

To go run and to play?

Whoops! There goes my bike—

I guess it’s checkers today
