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?”
