Bread aimed firstly to the left, but, then, tossed to the right,

Means that Mr. Mallard misses afternoon’s first bite.

But, child’s chicanery followed by a laughing sneer,

Notices not hoodwinked’s hen stealthily drawing near.

BOOM! Mum’s quacking flaps jump-scare kid kid into the lake,

For lesson’s learn: best not try to ducky ducks out-fake. ; )
