Inspired by poet "Kevin Shaw" and his daft poems . . . : )

Listen to poem:
There once was a farmer called Mr Brown
Who with his duck in tow went off to town
The duck panicked and quacked all the way
The farmer had his fill and left the duck in the dray
Then disappeared into the Rose & Crown 

There once was a duck left in the dray 
Who settled down nicely in the hay
Then farmer Brown he did returned
To the noisy duck he had spurned 
The duck had three golden eggs lay

The now inebriated farmer Brown was elated 
On his newly found wealth he then debated
The duck was relieved in more ways than one 
Otherwise off to the market she was gone  
Thinking of her fate had he not waited

There once was a farmer Brown and his duck
Who both could not believe their newfound luck
Farmer Brown on himself a new tractor did spend 
And the amazing duck got herself a brand new pen 
Not strung up with her feathers ready to pluck
