Mommy Ducky

Mommy Ducky

Me and Jimmy like to swim
When Mommy Ducky’s in the pool.
It’s always warm, never cool.
Her hair is short and ducky white.
She makes swimming fun delight

We have to wait through baby time
With mommies walking in a line,
Or in a circle singing softly
Then march to center crying whee!

When the baby’s time is done
Me and Jimmy have our fun.
We jump to Mommy Ducky’s hands
She swishes us to our platform stand.
We swim to her and to the wall
Just can’t stand, not that tall.

She gives us broomstick with end floats.
We paddle with them like we’re boats.
When we get half down the pool,
We sit on the edge ‘cause that’s her rule.

Her ducky pitcher pours from its beak;
We sit still and do not speak.
She wiggles our toes and asks how many.
We can count ‘cause we are three,
We count to ten, Jimmy and me.

The water tickles as it flows
Over all ten counted toes
Then over counted fingers, ears, nose and eyes.
We giggle with each tickle surprise.

We swim to her on front and back;
Then its time to go to have our snack.
Mommy Ducky is lots of fun.
Mommy Duckies for everyone!
