Boys Composition on Ducks

The duck is low, heavy-set bird, composed mostly of meat, bill and feathers. His head rests on one end and he sets on the other.
 There ain't no between to his toes, and he carries toy balloon in his stomach to keep from sinking.
 The ducks has only two legs and they are set so far back on his run ming gear that they come durn near missing his body.
 Some ducks when they get big are called drakes.< Drakes don't have to set or hatch; just loaf, go swimming and eat. If l had to be a duck I'd rather be drake every time.
 Ducks does not give milk, but eggs, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.
