Can we stretch the challenge of question this time,
And make each query a couplet of rhyme?
Who ate the goose who gave us this quill
For writing these words that give such a thrill?

This challenge, my friend, was easy to say
Do you know we could be at it all day?
When with goose your stomach is entirely full
Why over our eyes do you pull the wool?

Wool-pulling, my friend, don't you think is easy?
Goose-plucking, by contrast, won't make you queasy?
Do you think we could switch the subject to turkey?
Does the thought of it make you nervous or jerky?

Do you know I'm impressed you endeavored for two When just a single couplet will do?

Don’t you think the arrangement of riches on offer
Will be doubled by doubling the doublets we proffer?

Will duck or will elephant, will scoundrel or fink
stop Cap K and I from swiggin' our drink?
Will SWMBO be there to keep heads screwed on straight,
Or is this a mute point since't's clearly too late?

Though the drink's in your ink rather more than you think,
Would you rather be nearer or farther from lather'd?
If the former, drink water, you know that you oughter,
If the latter, try matter made fatter by drink!

Were I as brilliant as mav'rick by half,
I'd hoist up my glass and join y'all in a quaff.
But internal rhyme is too hard to build,
so I'll bid you adieu pardon my French and all best to the Zild(s).

Can a shake from ol' Blake and a hope from ol' Pope
Take a couplet to shape through the smoke an' the dope?

Whit, with all this free-flowing booze,
Whither the talk of an ingested goose?
(Can I thank you for this fantastic thread?
Or could I drink some more in your honor instead?)
