DUCKS

Ducks on the ground

Ducks running around

Ducks in the pond swimming round

No more ducks lined up in a row

I WILL RIDE MY HORSE

Bucking here and bucking there

Beaming with pride

Swishing tail and long flowing mane

Strong and firm his leg will remain

A gallop a trot

Clop! Clop! Clop!

Stretched out in leaps and bounds

Will he throw me to the ground?
