For welcome spring contest

Chick in the pond
Is from double yolk 
Born Easter morn
He’s a little slow

He couldn’t swim
He barely floats
Oh look at him
The butt of jokes

One day a kid
Was tossing bread
He hit the chick
On his yellow head

Chick wobbles and splash
Gags and chokes
The other chicks laugh
Calling him a dope

Carrot top kid has an idea
Why should the chick nearly drown here
He wants to help chic persevere 
He tosses a toy boat off the pier

So yellow chick
Grabs the toy boat
He rides in it
And leads the row

The other chicks
Now proudly gloat
“Did you see my brother’s boat?”
