 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

ALL FOR A FEW DUCKS


We always as boys had lots and lots of things to do
Inventing adventuring and exploring and more
And of course always getting ourselves in trouble
A little something that all that much we did not adore
We were out one day walking along the river banks
And there was this lake just full of biggest ducks
The road was not that far away but we thought
We'd not be seen by any if at all by cars and trucks
So we boys stripped all our clothes off on the bank
And slipped into the water just like a crocadile
After taking a deep breath we swam under out to them
And we grabbed at least five each bt the feet with style
But on the way back naked and holding a lot of ducks
Not an easy task on it's own at all as we then found
But we made it back with all we had caught that day
To our surprise as we all wet climbed out on the ground
There was no clothes they were missing all of them
And there was some people standing there laughing so
Here were we all naked as jay birds and dressed in ducks
Trying to find where our clothes were where ever they did go
Next thing one of them produced a camera and click click
Two guys and three women laughing like never before
They had decided on holiday there to take a river walk
They all that day got their money's worth thats for sure
Next thing a few days after my dad came in with news paper
And said to me smililing well just have a look at this today
There's a picture of some little boys who were stealing ducks
And one of them does looks real familier to me I do say.
