A happy old hen met a discontented duck. Cluck! cluck! Quack! quack! quack! Said he, "I always have the very worst of luck, Quack! quack! quack!" Said she, "Of happiness I never lack! Cluck! cluck! cluck!" "But what do you do when it rains all day? Quack! quack! quack!" "I find a cozy corner and there I stay! Cluck! cluck! cluck!" "And what do you do when the sun is hot? Quack! quack! quack!" "My chicks and I find a shady spot! Cluck! cluck! cluck!" "And what will you do when you're killed to be eaten? Quack! quack! quack!" "I'll make a potpie that can't be beaten! Cluck! cluck! cluck!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POOR DEVIL! by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET DOWN THE BROOK by ROBERT FROST FLOWER GUIDANCE by ROBERT FROST LETTER TO JOSEPH WARREN by ROBERT FROST THE CENTER OF GRAVITY by DAVID IGNATOW |
