The Grey Goose

How many days did you think would pass before we noticed that the grey goose was missing?

You took the grey goose under the cover of darkness. You know who you are...Grey Goose Gidnapper. Say you did win a bet that some of us can not remember making a year ago. A fair man might have mentioned that he was putting said grey goose in said car for a migratory trip up north. But you were afraid. Afraid that the grey goose might not want to go. Might prefer to only remain north of the pantry shelving. Crisp. Clean. Untouched. Waiting patiently for just the right celebratory occasion in which to be fully appreciated.

But you've had to stuff the grey goose in a dark place, haven't you. Because he stares at you with those beady eyes when the house is empty. He watches you. Questions you. Face it. You can't handle the goose.

Summer is coming. And in three months, his previous owners will rescue you from your grey goose guilt. Until then, you have 90 days with the giant goose. A harsh sentence for certain. His owners may or may not have a smaller replacement goose of more appropriate proportions when they return for the goose.

My advice to you is to make sure you lay low and don't ruffle any feathers. Oh...and watch your back. Geese bite.

I'll save the bottle for you!! I'm only interested in what is inside. I'll fill it with water and you won't know the difference. There is no guilt on my part, I won that fair and square. All that needed to be done was to open the bottle and take a sip during a 6 month time frame, but you couldn't even manage that.

I'm a pretty fair detective and I would venture to guess that the culprit who stole the Grey Goose has the initials of JRA and decorates his condo with his best friend "Bucky Badger". For Shame!!

Just remember that the grey goose won't attract the good gander on your cruise.

Respect the goose.
