SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT No 11

DADDY FELL IN THE POND by Alfred Noyes

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 when there seemed to be nothing beyond,
Then
Daddy fell into the pond!

And everyone's face grew merry and bright,
And Timothy danced for sheer delight.
"Give me the camera quick, oh quick!
He's crawling out of the duckweed!"  Click!

Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee,
And doubled up, shaking silently,
And the ducks all quacked, as if they were daft,
And it sounded as if the old drake laughed.
Oh, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond
When
Daddy fell into the pond!

Well I got a laugh out of it so hope you do too.
