DUCKLING

Daring little duckling
Drifting down the stream
Distracted from his family
Drowsily lost within a dream

Dodging all the obstacles
Dauntingly in his way
Detoured the wrong direction
Distressed he did not obey

Dismayed at being all alone
Dashing to and fro
Doubting himself
Dubious where to go

Depending on himself
Doing what was right
Dutifully found his mother
Doubling his delight

Definitely it is better
Decided it was true
Doing all the things
Darling ducklings do
