A Duck Makes Me Laugh
By Nona Keen Duffy
I think that a duck,
As he waddles around,
Is peculiar enough
When he stays on the ground.
And he’s funny to watch
When he goes for a swim,
But when he dives under
I laugh at him!
Does he know how odd
He looks, I wonder,
With his bottom half up,
And his top half under?

A five-year-old boy in a candy store was in tears. “What’s the matter, Sonny?” the proprietor asked.
“I had a quarter, but I lost it here somewhere.”
Welling over with sympathy, the storekeeper handed the boy a popsicle. “Here,” he consoled, “you can have this one free.”
The youngster brightened a bit, but tears still fell. “What about my change?”
