‘Cackle cackle, Mr Goose,
\nHave your secrets tumbled loose?
\n‘No!’ Said the Goose, ‘pluck me clean!
\nI have no secrets, you will see!’
\nOne by one his quills were plucked
\nunsatisfied, she strung him up.
\n
\nAround his neck a fraying rope
\nHis wings and tail cleaved, disposed
\nin boiling water once was drowned
\nHis skin needled, the last pins pulled out.
\nJoints and skin cut, organs detached,
\ntill finally his wishbone snapped.
\n
\n‘Cackle cackle, Mr Goose,
\nI wish your secrets to come loose!’
\nNothing happened. There was no sound,
\nfor there were never any secrets to be found.
\nThe goose said nothing and from his eyes
\nhonest tears watered the ground where he died.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
