Shoveler Jim

A shoveler duck is Jim
A duckling afraid to swim
He stands on a log
With Lily The Frog
So everyone laughs at him

Gracie Gull says he is dim
Silly I'm not explains Jim
I have a dislike
For Lucius Pike
Just dinner I am to him

Lucius then says to Jim
Sorry I nibbled your limb
It was only in fun
To see a duck run
Forgive me Shoveler Jim

Together the trio swim
Lucius, Gracie and Jim
And stories they tell
Until the church bell
Then happily sing a hymn
