Math Made Easy By Ducks(for my dear niece when she was 7 yrs. old)

A family of affectionate ducks absconds,
Two by two the younger ducks dash to the pond,
No sooner than a splash upon a feather one drowns,
Mother Goose looks frantically for little ducky unfound, 
The twin little ducky says, "mother he drowned!"
"Oh no, not my baby," she said with a quack-less frown,
"He's a duck, how possibly could he have drowned?"
"Easily," said the twin little ducky, "with buckshot from old man Brown!"
