recorded reading
I was one out of thirteen that survived it this year.
But tonight I have made it, so send up a cheer.
For weeks upon weeks I have trotted around
Accompanied by mother - both feet on the ground.
I grew adult plumage – I’m smart I admit.
I’ve strengthened my wings and shown off quite a bit.
Tonight, though was special as I flew over town
And with Mum and with Dad on the river came down.
What a day of excitement – I surely won’t sleep –
But in the life of a duck it’s one very big leap.
