Waddle with me in a downpour of rain
Singing in a symphonious refrain
Jumping in puddles, splashing everyone
Simply because we will have lots of fun.
We'll fluff up our feathers, inhale fresh air
Twist and shake until we have no breath there
Because we are smarties, we have it cracked
And expertly do a ducky class act.
One two and then quack, one two and then splash
Allow alluring eyelashes to flash
Look to the left and then look to the right
Dancing and prancing from morning to night.
Then we can dream elating ducky dreams
In the wondrous world of fantasy themes
Arriving there, surely one can't do wrong
Waddling to the tune of a ducky song.
She likes green so well, her whole house is one color.
Isn’t that boring? I ask her annoyed cousin’s stepbrother.
It seems that she’s expanded her horizons, added yellow now.
I see a green elephant, green horse, green dogs and green cow.
Where is the yellow? I ask. Is it in another room?
I think it’s behind the sink in the form of an old straw broom.
And there’s a yellow duckie in the tub, someone said.
I wish in this house she would add some touches of red.

little ducky
here i am
submerged in my thoughts
about a lone duck in a pond
first, why is she by herself
second, why didn't she eat the rice,
or bread
i think,
i think
what a life
what a habitat
... here she is in a pond,
with a waterfall,
mind you
on the grounds of a hotel
can it be so bad?
or is this not a safe haven,
sheltered from the elements
harms way, predators
obviously this is the good life
or is it?
i look at the duck,
so content
in it's own little world
swimming in circles
without a quack, or playmate
it was like looking in the mirror
i see workers leaving food
how nice
what got me is little duckie
is so human
in the pond i see leftover bread,
rice,noodles,crackers
all snacks that workers brought
i see duckie ignoring the usual foods
and swims over to the rock that held a black donut
yes little duckie going for the sweets
i don't blame her
you only live once
... in one nibble she eats half
uncanny, just like me
chew her food?
nope
it was like ... gulp ...
uncanny, just like me
... uncanny i found a moment
in time that touches my heart
it feels good

Two nice bogies jumped the rails
made a whoopee yoke duckie
crazy Jana and Anna
the dodo dudu
I was taking a bath the other day
when in walked my neighbor and said "Let's play,"
she filled the tub with bubbles,
I forgot all my troubles...
her rubber duckie I couldn't turn away!
Rubber duckie you're the one
You're the reason I'm the one
Rubber duckie
You're the one for me
Little duckie swimming across the lake,
making a little duckie wake,
trying to get to the other side,
head and beak up, full of pride,
looking for his mother duckling,
and his other sibling sucklings,
now he has them in his sight,
swimming hard, with all his might,
now little duckies are all together,
you might say,
birds of a feather,
in the lake they go now one by one,
I guess you'de call this,
some great duckie fun.
