DADDY FELL INTO THE POND

Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey 

We had nothing to do and nothing to say.

We were nearing the end of a dismal day,

And there seemed to be nothing beyond,

THEN 

Daddy fell into the pond!

And everyone's face grew merry and bright,

And Timothy danced with shiver delight,

"Give me the camera, quick oh quick!

He is crawling out of the duckweed,"

CLICK!

Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee,

And he doubled up shaking silently,

And the ducks all quacked as if they were draft

And it sounded as if the old drake laughed.

O, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond 

WHEN! 

Daddy fell into the pond!
