The Goat Is Safe
Because of careful planning the Swedish Christmas Goat Survives Attack.
If you would like to verify its existence you can check the Gävlebocken webcam.
From Steve Bates of Yellow Doggerel Democrat in the comments:
Why build a giant goat of straw,
Which most of us would scarcely note?
Some, though, defy the very law,
To vandalize the Gävle Goat.In some years, they used wayward cars;
In others, flaming arrows smote.
This year’s survives, although with scars…
A fact that gets some people’s goat.A webcam and some watchful eyes,
A flame-retardant second coat,
Should save it… unless Dubya spies
The thing, and claims it’s his pet goat!– SB the YDD
