    Last Christmas a man bought a goose from another man and the goose proved to be vert old and couldn't be cooked.

    Last Christmas a man bought a goose from another man and the goose proved to be very old and couldnt be cooked.
    Here are a few lines of it
    Pat Connell bought a goose about a month ago.
    And if he knew that man who sold it he would kill him with a blow.
    This goose was supposed to be a plump and tender breed
    But of a more decedful bird youll never hear or read.
