FATHER GOOSE, by                     Poet's Biography

Last Line: The tales of father goose.
Alternate Author Name(s): Baum, L. Frank

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.
