Analysis of Ducks In A Row
The bills are paid. The plans are laid.
All ducks are in a row.
The bets are made. The picks are weighed.
Enjoy a happy glow.
The doors are locked. The boats are docked.
All ducks are in a row.
The jams are crocked. The shelves are stocked.
Enjoy a happy glow.
The trials are run. The games are won.
All ducks are in a row.
The webs are spun. The deeds are done.
Enjoy a happy glow.
The tales are read. The prayers are said.
All ducks are in a row.
The pets are fed. The cares are shed.
Enjoy a happy glow.
