Ducks at dawn

Quack! quack! said seven ducks at dawn
While night dew glimmered on the lawn

Quack! quack! they said it's time to eat
We'll go hunt mushrooms for a treat

And in the light of early dawn
I saw them chasing on the lawn

They sought their treat with hungry quacks
And marked the dew with criss crossed tracks
They ate the mushrooms one by one
And quacked to greet the rising sun

Mud in my bed I settled back
And slept to tunes of quack! quack! quack!
