a little duck.

with a bit of luck
a duck
will come into your life

when you are at the peak
of your great powers
and your achievement towers
like a smoking chimney stack
there'll be a quack
and right there at your feet

a little duck will stand;
she will take you by the hand
and lead you
like a child with no defence;
she will lead you
into wisdom, joy and innocence

that little duck
we wish you luck
