    Interesting take. I've never really thought of geese as singing. Even nursery rhymes!

    That nursery rhyme came into my mind, too, but I couldn't think how to use it. Well done - very neat:-)

    She likes the idea of being queen, does she? Good take.

    Oh, a great take on the prompt, I love it.
    "Who are you calling Dilly?"
    "You can be queen."
    "OK"
    Made me laugh, and a perfect 140 characters, too.

    Very creative! I enjoyed this, and laughed when she was so quick to agree to being queen. Cool that you used a nursery rhyme, too...I've not heard it in years.

    Thank you ladies for your kind comments - I have to say that the nursery rhyme came to me immediately, otherwise I think I'd've been well and truly stumped with this one.

    This is so cute. Thanks for the chuckle. The tune for that song came to mind as I read your story! Now I'll be humming it for the rest of the day.

    I remember that song, although after hearing it sung over and over when my kids were young I'm not that fond of it anymore...LOL!

    Interesting... you are the first one to remember that fun rhyme. Works well with the geese.
