Sad, Mad or Bad? - I always wanted to be a dino, but alas, I'm just old. Posted Jan 3, 2001
I must admit I'm not sure what they are. Hang on. *Pausing here to check* I read it in a book (possibly one of the 'The Dark is Rising' sequence by Susan Cooper)
Barnacle geese are
waterfowl: breed in arctic,
live Northern Europe
...and Greenland, but I couldn't fit that in.
A clever spy will
Blow up a nuclear plant
from a safe distance.

Barnacle geese fly
To Britain for the winter
How dumb they must be
Nuclear spying
Becomes very important
When nations fall out
