"The Fable Of The Ducks And Hens" - читать интересную книгу автора (Rockwell George L)

He’s one of those vicious Anti-Hens...!
Now up the stream a little way
Was Gooseville, on the lake.
The hens had come to Gooseville too,
But the Geese were more awake.
When the hens began to spoil the young
And Gooseville’s laws to flout,
The Geese Rose Up in Righteous Wrath
And Simply Threw Them Out...!!!
Of course, you know where they all ran;
On Duckville they converged.
We’ve got to take these refugees.
Was all Duckville’s hens had urged.
The Duckville Daily Quack declared:
These Geese Will Stop at Naught!
They Plan to Conquer all the World!
Atrocities They’ve Wrought!
That’s right! the young ducks agreed,
We’ll help our fellow birds!
These Geese have plans to conquer us!
....We’ve read the Quack’s own words!
They let the hens from Gooseville in,
The whole bedraggled pack.
.... And every hen took up a job
on the Duckville Daily Quack!!
When the Duckville mayor’s term was up,
The Quack put up it’s Duck;
A vain and stupid duck was he,
A veritable ... cluck!
But when he praised the wild young ducks,
And cursed the evil Geese,
The Quack declared he was all wise,
His praise would never cease.
The hens chipped in to help this cluck
Give grain away for free.
The old ducks sadly shook their heads,
The writing they could see.
And sure enough, this stupid duck,
He was elected mayor.
From this point on, The Duckville ducks,
They never had a prayer.
The Mayor said, Gooseville must GO!
We’ll wipe them off the map!
While Duckville slept, the scheming hens
For Gooseville set the trap.
They called the Geese by filthy names;
They filled their pond with sticks.
They helped the weasels catch the Geese,
and other hennish tricks.
The Geese got mad and threw the sticks,
