Ducks
Shall I compare thee to a lovely parrot?
You are talkative, and you talk a lot!
You are strong-built with nice feathers,
You have no fear landing, elegant walker.
Sometimes too thick are the clouds in the sky,
then it rains heavily like dogs and cats fly.
and your feathers are smooth and water proof,
so water on your back never get through.
And the hardest part you have are your bills,
you embarrass hens with your talking skills.
They help you look for food and stomping ground.
"We the first ones to know the spring!" You insist loud.
Oh! So long as you have your voice and can sing,
Dear ducks, I 'll praise that you are the singing king!
