When father carves the duck.
| And mother almost always sighs
| When father carves the duck;
| Then all of us prepare 10 rise
| And hold our bibs before our eyes,
And be prepared for some surprise.
| When father carves the duck.
| He braces up and grabs n fork
Whene'er he carves a duck,
| And won't allow a soul 10 talk
Until he's carved the duck;
| The fork Is Jabbed into the sides.
Across the breast the knife he slides.
While every careful person hides
From flying chips OF duck.
The platter's always sure TO slip
When father carves a duck;
And how IL makes the dishes slip!
Potatoes ny amuckl
The squash and cabbage leap In space,
We get some gravy in our face.
And father muttors Hindoo grace
Whene'er he carves a duck.
We then have learned 10 walk around
The dining room and pluck
From on the window-sills and walls
Our share OF fathers duck;
While father growls and blows and jaws,
And swears the knife is full OF flaws,
And mother laughs at him because
He couldn't carve a duck
