Feeding the Ducklings - Stand-Easy, My Duckies

As I sat on the wayside fence
Enjoying a bask in the sun
Came by a Mom Duck 
With her soft-downed yellow brood.

She "Ten-hutted" right in front of me
Ducklings screech-halted there.
I scrabbled in my pockets,
My chips turned duck-feed-fare.

Mom Duck stepped to one side
And let her kids break rank.
Right busy did the cuties get,
Clacking beaks to a man.

Quack, Quack, said Mom Duck.
You're Welcome, Ma'am, I said.

Stand-easy: military term for a short break from exercises/manoeuvres for refreshments
