Dilly Ducks Birthday

Once there was a little duck
They called him Silly Dilly
He waddled here, he waddled there
He had a friend named Willy

One day it was the birthday of
That silly Dilly duck
He'd always wanted a brand new pen
And today he had some luck

Folk built for him a band new pen
And when he saw it there
He danced around with his friend Willy
And joy was everywhere

They had a party for our duck
And so much food was had
Balloons were hanging all around
And everyone was glad

They all had such a lovely time
Our duck was filled with glee
He loved that little pen they'd built
A happy duck was he

Hello my friendly countryman, how are you, thank you so much for reading and commenting on this poem, I guess it would remind many people of their younger years, how unusual a duck and a rabbit, take care ................Vera.
