Mother Duck ??

Our Muscovy mother 
she is attentive and caring
as corn is scattered from a scoop she makes sure there is sharing
But her brood of eighteen ducklings is a massive undertaking 
Yet the motherly love she shows for her colossal clutch is adoringly painstaking

There she goes like a watchful mother Hen waddling her cute clutcher’s down the dene towards her den
She know’s full well that rusty red Fox is in the glen
so she hurries her little worries to the safety of her pen

Newly hatched from eighteen cracked egg shells 
this Muscovy duck is remarkable tho she has her work cut out hell’s bells
Yet in the heat of this moment each and everyone of them is alive
Alas only time will tell if fate is fortunate to Mother Duck and her precious quacker’s all survive
