NO QUACK
Did you know that only girls ducks say
quack!
Not the pretty ones with green on their
back,
The chatter and quacking only the female
makes
I am not quite sure what is said by all the
drakes.
I am glad that the females have the ability to
chat,
Gather together and talk about this plan or
that,
I know that Mallard boys have more than one
wife,
I bet they often quack about all their trouble and
strife.
I think I know why the drakes don’t have a
quack,
To get a quack in at all a chance he would
lack,
With, maybe ten wives and having their own
say
He just shuts up and get himself right our of the
way.
