Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Feeding the Ducklings

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.
