If Ducks Ruled the World

If ducks ruled the world

They would live and work in duckminster

Pay homage to the Queen, the Ducks and Duckesses at Duckingham Palace,

They would certainly rule the waves of Britain, marching to and fro in naval outfits,

No need for ships or an Air Force, with flying and swimming duck armies.

They gather on benches at parliamentary questions,

There is golden goose Mrs May with her duck eggstappo

And Jeremy Frogspawn always waiting to launch into cruel asides,

For if ducks ruled the world there would be no need for spies,

Because unknowingly they rule the world already.

Ducks are my second favorite dinosaur, and this made me laugh. Good poem. Filthy birds that they are though, I think they're pigs with feathers - always getting in the mud and murky waters. Mine do anyway, but good read.?

and don't forget to claim expenses on those floating duck houses ? I think £1,645 should be about right . . .

Iamb and Trochee

Iamb you I like
You make my verse flow
Trochee? Come here
Trochee go go

Iamb come again
Trochee your turn
Iamb please repeat
Trochee more turn

Trochee ?

D?

Thanks for all the comments. Glad you enjoyed it Taylor. I have a rhyming poem for you Don.

Quackers

Get out the maracas
Ducks are going quackers.

They are still forced to flee the flock
By the poetic rhyming lot.

They use iambic pentameter,
to please the quack examiner.

A mallard named Dr Smart
Who's a less than clever sort.

His iambs are like I am,
but I prefer not to rhyme

because not all poems have to,
did they teach him that at big school?

I'll stick to my own style if you like it or not.
I haven't gone barmy, but ducks have lost the plot

Now Carol and Jon and friend Brian
We also have ducks way down here
We feed them on porridge and whisky
At all other times they prefer beer

Now you ask where the heck does this porridge
And whisky come into our ducks
I'm told it's duck food in your Ireland
So we follow in your steps (what the f----)

Now Carol your poem on ducks
It createth a problem for rhymers
Nice Brian was able to sign off with
Well Carol for the sake of a duck

Let's see if a rhymer like me
Can politely say goodby to ducks
Without stooping right down in the gutter
And dragging up all of this muck

ribbit...ribbit...(he tries, Carol)
Tina...Jon smiles on
Carol hasn't a clue what's going on...Search FUN BUS tag Carol to find out

Don ?

They're coming in so jolly fast
I can't keep up putting them in
Our Taylor she still can't stop laughing
My poem must surely now fin

(you wait...someone will now come in enjoying your poem Carol and I'll have to create another verse...ah the life of a poet)
