Ducklings

When you're a Duck like me it's impossible
to make friends with humans like you.
We're friendly and don't cause any troble,
but you're not and you certainly do.

We swim round, me and the family,
while you throw us old lumps of bread.
Your dog starts to run with the crack of your gun
and one of us loses his head.

And if that's not enough, then you cook us
with our legs sticking up in the air.
Try putting yourself into our place.
I tell you, it just isn't fair.
