Poems for Younger Children

This is a fantastic Performance Poem as I've seen many times. The five hungry ducklings are still coming to my house (parents now).

THE FIVE HUNGRY DUCKLINGS
By Josie Whitehead
Thanks to Martin Torbert - USA
Josie's Voice Recording
There were five hungry ducklings
Swimming on a lake:
'My word!' said their Mummy -
'What a long time you take.'
'What a long, long time you take!'
'Look, bottoms up, heads down;
Just copy what I do.
I have to fish for tasty food
And you must do so too.
'Yes you must do so too.'
The five hungry ducklings
Quickly all then said:
'But if we charm those humans,
They’ll throw us bread instead.'
'They'll throw us bread instead' -
Yes, they'll throw us bread instead.'
