THE DUCK WHO WALKED ON WATER
With apologies to J. C.
SHE HAD NO NAME
BUT SHE HAD FAME
FOR SHE KNEW HOW TO WALK ON WATER
She told the drake “I am sick of swimming
I am doing a new trick
Feet out of water Like that man in the Bble.
She wanted to be known
As the duck who walked on water. The drake thought
“ She is crazy” did not know what she meant
Was sure she had lost her mind
She chose to leave him behind
And jumped off the shore landing on top of the river
Instead of in paddling as usual
She got her wish flew from shore to the top she became the duck who walked on the water.
