Slapstick comedy

on December 3, 2011

The first time I saw Godfrey trip over his own feet, I pretended not to notice because he did (I kid you not!) seem quite embarrassed. I mean he fell flat on his face, then picked himself up and shook himself, hissed at me as if to say, ‘you better not tell anyone about this!’ then struck his usual pose of upright arrogance.

It has been quite interesting to observe how clumsy the other geese are too. In their hurry, they often trip over their huge feet, fall over, pick themselves up, trip again etc. The ducks are much more agile so, whenever a goose trips over, the ducks watch with great interest – and disdain. Hilarious!

This picture is of Godfrey just before he fell onto his face. I know this is going to sound awful but I did have a bit of a ‘haha!’ moment before he picked himself up.
