Duck Duck Goose Duck

matt15rsp

It has a head a majestic green

As great a bird as you've ever seen

There goes one now, down the stream

It must feel proud, so supreme

Sometimes it lets out an almighty quack

Perhaps the very earth itself might crack

They often must fight for great fame and glory

Nowhere will you find a better story

How amazing are ducks?

 

Covered in feathers a comforting brown

No on could ever look at one and frown

Merrily they lead their chicks along

Together they sing the sweetest song

Protective and loyal and fierce too

And a great deal more than me or you

You won't believe the pressure they feel

It just makes everything seem so real

How amazing are ducks?

 

What's that dead thing right over there

You know what, I really don't care

 

They have such a pristine orange bill

Made to talk and learn and kill

Out in the wild they've done so well

And off their perch they never fell

On a great river on a sunny day

The demand bread and the people obey

Some care for bravery or cunning or luck

But none of that matters when you are a duck
