A Tale of Fish and Duck

there once was a duck
who had no luck
her parents cruelly named her chuck
she liked to play in the muck
unfortunately the poor thing was hit by a truck

there once was a fish
he lived in a dish
his parents cruelly named him trish
he liked to splash and splish
his death was not his owners wish

the two unfortunate beings met in the sky
and of this tale i do not lie
at first they were quite shy
til trish said, oh my!
you know chuck, we did both die

today they had a baby
it is said that maybe
they will choose to name her ramie
but if you ask me
she's the ugliest baby you ever will see
