 Wrong "Eggs"pectation

An Aesop Fable often told

About a farmer's goose who laid

Egg after egg, each of pure gold.

So soon, greed in the farmer made

Him kill this goose in the belief,

A huge pile of gold be inside.

But none there, to the farmer's grief.

"Where'd the gold go?" the farmer cried.

Maybe the gold, the farmer thought,

Had transferred to another goose.

Sounded reasonable, why not!

The farmer's mind had a screw loose.

Now, all laying of white eggs cease,

Cuz the farmer's killed all his geese.
