Duck and Ducklings

One beautiful duck had five little ducklings

They couldn’t fly but they had wings

 

Duck was hungry, into a pond she jumped

Ducklings were hungry but scared to jump

 

They waddled and waddled around the pond

They quacked and quacked looking at the mom

 

One brave duckling jumped into the water

Four on the bank screamed in horror

 

They looked fearfully from one to other

Quack, quack and they pushed each other

 

One fell in the pond and let out a cry

Others looked down but wouldn’t try

 

But a big dog came running from nowhere

Three little ducklings sprinted like a hare

 

They fell in the pond and let out a yell

Mama duck smiled, “All is well-all is well”.

  2. It's funny how they're scared to learn but finally take that "plunge." Good metaphor for life.
