A Duckling named Camilla
How lucky I was to inherit a villa!
Soon, I bought a tiny duckling for my pond.
Quickly and with a smile, I named her Camilla.
Together, we soon grew so fond.
As I watched her wet her feathers yellow blonde.
I built a dog-like box for it to rest.
I threw small pieces of soft, wet bread until
I gave her proper food that was full of zest.
But soon, another tiny duckling came with a shrill.
How happy they were as they learnt their drill.
And Spring went, and soon it came again.
The ducklings played, leaving ripples behind.
The pond was then too small, and I built it in a pen.
Until one day, I came, and not one bird I could find.
Soon, they returned, but wow: three birds were outlined.
