FATHER GOOSE, by LYMAN FRANK BAUM Poet's Biography First Line: Old mother goose became quite new Last Line: The tales of father goose. Alternate Author Name(s): Baum, L. Frank Subject(s): Books; Geese; Parents; Reading; Parenthood | |||
OLD Mother Goose became quite new, And joined a woman's club; She left poor Father Goose at home To care for Sis and Bub. They called for stories by the score, And laughed and cried to hear All of the queer and merry songs, That in this book appear. When Mother Goose at last returned, For her there was no use; The goslings much preferred to hear The tales of Father Goose. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY PARENTS HAVE COME HOME LAUGHING by MARK JARMAN BIRTHDAY (AUTOBIOGRAPHY) by ROBINSON JEFFERS LOOKING IN AT NIGHT by MARY KINZIE THE VELVET HAND by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY CURRICULUM VITAE by LISEL MUELLER CIVILIZING THE CHILD by LISEL MUELLER MISSING THE DEAD by LISEL MUELLER CAPTAIN BING by LYMAN FRANK BAUM NAPEOLON'S FAREWELL; FROM THE FRENCH by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE NATIONAL PAINTINGS: COL.
