The Ugly Swan

Remember the Ugly Duckling He was neither a duck nor a gander But I bet you've never heard How he sued them people for slander You see, he really was quite ugly And even tho he wasn't a duck When it came to being good looking That swan was just out of luck He had a mole growing out of his beak That looked like Abraham Lincoln And an eye that was barely open That made him look like he was winkin' Did I mention he had a double chin That looked like a human's rear And his head looked kinda lopsided That's because he had one big ear One of his legs was way too short So he always walked with a limp He was so fat, that when he flew, He looked like the Good Year blimp He sued those fairytale people For making him look so bad But now he can get that mole removed For he took every penny they had

I LOVE this fairytale series, Larry. Imagine the duck/swan suing the fairytale people so he could loook better! The reference to Lincoln's mole made me laugh out loud. This is a great genre for you! Love, Carolyn
