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
