Cool water teases and tickles my toes Whilst a warm summer breeze gently blows I sit here silently on the sun kissed wooden pier Somehow the ducklings know that I’m here! Mummy always gives me a big bag of bread So I make sure every duckling will get fed They quack and splash in the water so blue I love to watch them feeding, I really do! The ducklings gather round me patiently waiting Food in their tummies they are all anticipating I try to throw the bread far out to sea The ducklings quack ‘that piece is for me’ Soon the bread is gone, they have eaten every crumb Still they gather round me, but now my task is done It’s time for my dinner now, so I tell them I must go But I will return again tomorrow, I hope the ducklings show.
