There once was an ugly duckling
feathers white and black like a cow
With large clawed feet and a flat tail
red wattles on its bill and brow
There once was an ugly duckling
this bird had a distinguished look
Just in case you were wondering
its name is The Muscovy Duck
We've got a few of those in our local park. I love them! Nice one for writing about the wee things!
Really liked this one.
Someone recently released a Muscovy duck on a local pond (wings clipped so it couldn't fly away) and the local residents were up in arms.
I know what you mean about being ugly.
