"The Duck"

Behold the duck. 
It does not cluck. 
A cluck it lacks. 
It quacks. 
It is specially fond
Of a puddle or pond. 
When it dines or sups, 
It bottoms ups.


Written by Ogden Nash (1902-1971)


I couldn't resist adding an extra picture of some juvenile ducks, which have just about lost all their fuzzy look now and are perfect scaled-down versions of their mother.
