My widdle boat has rowed away
While winds did woar and wage
Perhaps to wend to different shores
Perhaps to win the bay.
While here I wonder how I might
Persuade it to come back
I’m wading through my worries
While wheedling ducks do quack.
For I have neither webs nor wings
To get me to my boat
And out amongst the turtles’ snap
One hardly wants to float.
Once I tried to walk on waves
But with my woollies wet,
I waddled to the well worn bank
And had myself a set.
So while I wait and watch and wish
For my boat’s safe weturn
I now avow, in future storms,
I’ll moor it – bow and stern.

Love it. Huh-huh-huh-huh! (Trying to simulate Fudd's laugh.) A very nice tight little verse.

If I could walk upon the lake
I'd gladly fetch your boat.
But I have tried it twice before
And both times scarce got back to shore.
Don't want to make a third mistake
So this is why I've wrote.

Through tears laughs the masked face of despair.
Werry well witten wif weedling, kwacking, waiting, watching an'wishing. The waiting is worsest.

This is great! It would be my dearest wish to hear this recited at a poetry evening by Elmar Fudd. But all jokes to be bolt anchored to the bottom of the bay this actually cuts to the soul

Bwilliant!
If I were other than myself
I'd get the wind to swish
and chase your little boat back
past the grasping fish...
Beautiful pome!
