A Hero Wandering Through the Wood

I walked through the wood and I found a goose

From the farmer's fences it had got loose

And because such a hero am I 

Back to fields I would bring it by

While on my way I'd met a wolf

By hunger it had been engulfed 

And from the goodness in my heart

As a meal I'd let this goose take part

But soon after the wolf had snacked

By fearful farmers it was attacked

And because I have such good to show

I'd give this wolf the final blow

And as the wolf stay lying dead

They asked me where their goose had fled

And because I show goodwill now and again

I lied to spare their feelings then

Though saddened by my small mistruth 

They took no anger on me so uncouth 

I look upon the beaten hound

And then my head begins to pound

If any virtue I live by

These creatures wouldn't have to die

A "hero" wandering through the wood 

Has done what many never should
