There once was a duck

Who sat for days

Perched on a fence

Suffering from malaise

~

No one knew

Just why he was there

And when someone asked

He just gave a blank stare

~

Until the day

The new girl caught his eye

With the whitest downy feathers

She fluttered on by

~

With just a glimpse

He lost his balance

Staying on the fence

Became his greatest challenge

~

As he tumbled head first

Something broke his fall

A pillow of white feathers

Was all he could recall

~

When he came to his senses

He saw her perched on his fence

The new girl preening her feathers

So soft, white and dense

~

She looked down at him

And winked a playful eye

Then coyly flapped a wing

Inviting him by her side

~

And then there were two

Ducks in a row

The new girl in town

Had found herself a beau
