Mandarin Duck

The Mandarin Duck
 Was rather in luck,
The wind it was blowing
 The way he was going,
To Scotland
 To have a short break,
He had taken his hat
 A mack and a sponge,
He had been there before
 In what they call summer,

The Mandarin Duck
 Had been in the Zoo,
Being looked at
 For most of the summer,
It is very hard work
 Being watched every day,
The keeper of ducks
 Detected the strain,
Said take a week off
 Go find some rain,
It is so much more fun
 When he rain has begun,
If you are in luck
 And a Mandarin Duck.
