The Dam War
While floating in a tranquil way
Green and yellow ducklings had a lot to say
They swam up and down the stream
Living the dream
Showing formation as a family team
Until one day there was an interruption
Beaver, Inc. building corruption
“What is this?!”
Lead duck did hiss
“It’s a dam,”
Said construction fore beaver Dan
Who was contracted to create a traffic jam
“You are bothering the traveling flow
You know”
Replied the duck
About this idea by the beavers to make a buck
“It will be good
Made from sturdy timber wood
Guaranteed to stop over water running
While we beavers are sunning
Stop drop a half a buck
We wish you good luck”
One beaver gave an address
Explaining progress that was right now a mess
“What a beaver dam
Scam
Fifty cents is nearly a dollar,”
Those ducks were giving a holler
It was then it began
A Beaver State civil stand
If the orange and black
Are successful in the academic sporting attack
They will be able to purchase dam supplies
Twining around those ducking cries
On top of that there would be a silver contribution
Since this was a thoughtful solution
To allow the Beaver to enjoy a recreational bake
During the summer time break
But if the ducks take home a win
Those beavers will be contacting their next of kin
When the critters go to sun bathe
There will be no dam to stop the wave
Created by the ducks swimming thru
Staying cool
Getting ready to study real hard in school
