This poem is part of my “Capturing The Moment” section on this website and as with my poem called “Those Beady Eyes,” it was written during a trip to Florida in 2012.
As I sat by the pool one day on our holiday, I noticed a mother duck coming across the water with her ten babies in tow. I thought, “My goodness! What a grand day out!”
Before long I found myself writing “Ten Little Ducklings” and I hope it can bring some happy images to children and adults alike!
Ten little ducklings I can see. As I sat by the pool one day on our holiday, I noticed a mother duck coming across the water with her ten babies in tow. I thought, “My goodness! What a grand day out!”
Before long I found myself writing “Ten Little Ducklings” and I hope it can bring some happy images to children and adults alike!
Count them swimming…one, two, three!
Ten little ducklings all in a row,
Paddling quickly to and fro.
Ten little ducklings swim with mum,
Following behind her one by one.
Ten little ducklings come to a stop,
Climb out the water…hop, hop, hop!
Ten little ducklings staying on track.
Calling out loudly…quack, quack, quack!
Ten little ducklings waddling about.
Time to go home. What a grand day out!
