Ballad for a Mallard
For reasons that we’ll never know
You chose to come to us
Did you come far, and if so how,
Was it by tube or bus?
This little place that you call home
Amongst this fragrant scent
We hope that you’ll be nice and warm
They’ll be no charge in rent
At first, unsure of what you were
A bird? Velociraptor?
But now we know that you are ducks
To start this brand new chapter
We’ll take great care to leave you be
And water ‘round your nest
Please take your time and nurture them
There’s no need to feel stressed
So when you’re ready, fly away
Complete with flock in tow
We’re so glad that you came to us
To start your life in Bow
