I was told not long ago
Some baby ducklings had been bought
In far North Dallas by Dorothy's boss
For a pond out back they thought.
Too little were these baby ducklings
To be loose in this big city
So in a pen they were kept
Till almost grown and then set free.
These two ducks seem right at home
By the pond they rest a while
And as my niece was watching them
"City Slickers" she thought with a smile.
These duck will bring a lot of pleasure
To employees of their break
When refreshed and back to work
Hopefully, no mistake they'll make.
On the pond behind the office
These ducks will call it home
Surrounded with God's outdoor beauty
These beautiful ducks should never roam.
