In lands where the cliffs meet the roaring sea,
Where the mist hangs thick and the winds run free,
There once lived a farmer, both brave and true,
Who guarded his land 'gainst a pirate crew.

Oh, the pirate geese, with their wings so wide,
They swooped and they plundered on every tide,
But the farmer stood firm, with a cunning plan,
To rid his fair shores of the pirate clan.

The geese came raiding, with squawking cries,
Their beaks like cutlasses, their wings like knives,
But the farmer was ready, with a clever scheme,
To turn their foul deeds into a dream.

He lured them with grain, to his barn they flew,
And there in the shadows, his plan he knew,
"These pirates shall trouble my land no more,
Their reign of terror will end at my door."

Oh, the pirate geese, with their wings so wide,
They met their fate where the shadows hide,
For the farmer transformed them, with skill and care,
Into a dish beyond compare.

The pâté was smooth, like the ocean's calm,
A treasure of taste, a golden balm,
But the farmer kept secret the way it was made,
And the recipe died where the cliffs once swayed.

Oh, the pirate geese, with their wings so wide,
No more they plunder, no more they glide,
For the farmer had conquered, with wit and might,
And his land was safe in the quiet night.

Now the tale is told, where the sea meets the shore,
Of the farmer who fought and evened the score,
But the secret he took to his grave alone,
And the pâté remains a mystery unknown.

whether he or  she is friendly? We should  be good neighbors
and visit him or her.
