The Hearty Hen

A happy old hen met a discontented duck.
Cluck! cluck! Quack! quack! quack!
Said she “I always have the very worst of luck.
Quack! quack! quack!”
Said she, “Of happiness I never lack!
Cluck! cluck! cluck!”
“But what do you do when it rains all day?
Quack! quack! quack!”
“I find a cozy corner and there I stay!
Cluck! cluck! cluck!”
“And what do you do when the sun is hot?
Quack! quack! quack!”
“My chicks and I find a shady spot!
Cluck! cluck! cluck!”
“And what will you do when you’re killed to be eaten?
Quack! quack! quack!”
“I’ll make a potpie that can’t be beaten!
Cluck! cluck! cluck!”
