THERE WAS ONCE A FARMER . . .

THERE WAS ONCE A FARMER . . . 

There was a once farmer called Mr Brown

With his duck in tow went off to town

The duck panicked and quacked all the way

The farmer had his fill and left the duck in the dray

Then disappeared into the Rose & Crown

There was once a duck left in the dray

Who settled down nicely in the hay

The farmer Brown then returned

To the noisy duck he had spurned

The duck had three golden eggs lay

The inebriated farmer Brown now elated

On his new found wealth he debated

The duck relieved in more ways than one

Otherwise off to the market she was gone 

Thinking of her fate had he not waited

There was a farmer Brown and his duck

Who both could not believe their luck

Farmer Brown on himself a new tractor he did spend

The Amazing duck got herself a brand new pen

Not strung up and with no feathers to pluck
