The Duck With No Web Feet

This little duck didn't have webbed feet Other ducks laughed when they'd meet His mama said, I think it is really neat He swims and waddles to his own beat This little duck was named Webless Hank When others laughed his little heart sank After all he had no trouble walking on land His daddy said his swimming was quite grand You know this little duck could even climb trees And swing from branches, tail waving in the breeze He grew up proud with great parents he could thank No matter how big the pond, he would have never sank So how this tail ends I'll tell you my feathered friends When the wind blows, with it you must always learn to bend No matter how much and loud the other ducks honk and quack Pay no attention, let it roll like water off a duck's back Author Eileen Clark 2022
