Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 22 Author Members Report Posted January 22 (edited) LOL, Fred! My father's mother kept a pair of geese in the fenced in front yard of her farmhouse. You had to walk through the yard to get to the door. They were definitely her 'watch geese'. My mom would take me by the hand, and admonish me to 'watch out for the geese' as we hurried to get through the yard to the front door. One of my aunts kept guinea hens. They wouldn't attack, but they certainly made a lot of noise, alerting the people in the house that someone was outside. Edit: my late husband's name was Roger. Other kids teased him by calling him Roger the dodger, and Roger the lodger. Thought that might help you remember the rhyme. Apparently, both of those rhymes have some not very nice meanings, though he never explained them to me. But Rodger the dodger might fit with this guy not being able to dodge the goose...
