The Duck With No Web Feet

Eileen Clark

This little duck didn't have webbed feet

Other ducks laughed when they'd meet

His mama said, I think it is really neat

He swims and waddles to his own beat

This little duck was named Webless Hank

When others laughed his little heart sank

After all he had no trouble walking on land

His daddy said his swimming was quite grand

You know this little duck could even climb trees

And swing from branches, tail waving in the breeze

He grew up proud with great parents he could thank

No matter how big the pond, he would have never sank

So how this tail ends I'll tell you my feathered friends

When the wind blows, with it you must always learn to bend

No matter how much and loud the other ducks honk and quack

Pay no attention, let it roll, like water off a duck's back

      Hi, it's October 24, time sure goes by fast. I had a problem with my google account and lost my passwords. I was foolish in not writing them down and keeping them in a safe place. 🙁 At least I'm back after much help from my computer savy daughter. Thank you for your nice comment. 🙂

      A feathered tale of a duck with extraordinary talents unrecognised by the common herd (sorry flock, or any one of multiple collective nouns).
      Best allegory I've heard in a long time, Eileen.
