Quack

Hush, hush little duck, there’s no need to fear.
I’m going to protect you; keep you safe while you’re here.
I’ll share my food and even let you sleep with me.
You have my word and that’s a guarantee.

The world's a mean place I’ve been told
but you’re with me so you won’t get cold.
We’re going to be the best of friends.
I’m sure our differences we'll transcend.

You’re very soft to touch and you tickle my feet.
I’m sure going to miss you when you’re big enough to eat.

    I knew where that one was going. So cute and killer (pardon the pun) last line.

    This picture is adorable! I love this so much! And the poem is so cute! The poem and picture together just made me smile. I thin it'll keep a smile on my lips for the rest of the day. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem.
