Treasure Hunters

Like toy boats on a pond
The ducklings swam in precise line
One by One
They ducked down, bottoms up
Treasure Hunters
One held a fish in its mouth

I truly hope it is true, for I immediately pictured it.

I can tell you that these ducklings in the pond are based on what I've seen over the years. As for 'truth,' I lay no claim to same. :) gw
