AN AYLESBURY DUCK https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aylesbury_duck
There's a duck
of high renown
bred &reared
in my county town
with orange
feet &plumage light
of culinary fame
this bird of snowy-white
neck so fine
& feathered crown
kept in cottages
now tumble down
reared in hovels & shack
a deep breasted duck
with ample back
an early layer
ready for spring
plucking feathers so tiring
boxed in flats on
London-bound carts
each
Saturday as clockwork
did depart
A Victorian food luxury
the main product of rural
Aylesbury
a duck
of worldwide renown
a noted product
of my home town
