Daddy Fell into the Pond
Everyone
grumbled.
The
sky
was
grey.
We
had
nothing
to
do
and
nothing
to
say.
We
were
nearing
the
end
of
a
dismal
day,
And
there
seemed
to
be
nothing
beyond,
THEN
Daddy
fell
into
the
pond!
And
everyone's
face
grew
merry
and
bright,
And
Timothy
danced
for
sheer
delight.
"Give
me
the
camera,
quick,
oh
quick!
He's
crawling
out
of
the
duckweed."
Click!
Then
the
gardener
suddenly
slapped
his
knee,
And
doubled
up,
shaking
silently,
And
the
ducks
all
quacked
as
if
they
were
daft
And
it
sounded
as
if
the
old
drake
laughed.
O,
there
wasn't
a
thing
that
didn't
respond
WHEN
Daddy
fell
into
the
pond!
