Mama's Seven Prize Ducklings

Waddling down tangerine trails Carrying their favorite marmalade pails Mama Duck and her seven prize ducklings Waved 'Hi' to a sandy-shelled snail Leaving their pails in soft saffron sand The ducklings waded into the foam Bobbing along bubbly and twinkling surf They sang out: "No place like home" Later they found crystal sand in their pails Built mighty forts and castles galore Mama's darling, dazzling-white ducklings Couldn't have asked her for anything more March 25, 2020 A CHEERFUL RHYME Poetry Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier

Ducklings are all wearing masks and webbed gloves, swimming at least 3 duck lengths from one another, and no going 'bottoms up!' Thanks, Jenish. :) gw

Hi Gershon ever so cute! ducklings are darlings, how can they be served in 5 star restaurants with roast potatoes and assorted veg - so bizarre makes me want to be a vegetarian, although I am halfway there! Great write, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Eat the 'lng,' not the duck! Then you'll be a half-vegetarian! There you go! Smiles, Gershon

Hey, stay down at the beach a while! The tide's out due to 'wave distancing!' Cheers, my friend! Warm wishes, Gershon
