Goosey Goosey Gander

“Goosey, Goosey Gander” is a traditional English nursery rhyme dating back to the late 18th century. Although there is no exact evidence of this, it is believed that the origins of Goosey, Goosey Gander dates back to the 16th century, during King Henry VII’s reign, and it was used as propaganda of the Protestants against the Catholic Church, according to allnurseryrhymes.com

A beautiful photo. So many details are in focus - the flowers and the feathers. Can't say I've ever heard this nursery rhyme before.

Fabulous shot of him amongst the flowers! Hmmm.... I did hear the song a long time ago but I really don't remember the goose throwing the man down the stairs.....

Gorgeous! The contrast of the goose’s black and grey with the colorful wildflowers, the great dof and, as always, the wonderful composition combine to make an absolutely gorgeous photo. Frame worthy.
