The Ugly Ugly Duckling


Once upon a time there was an ugly duckling, 

He noticed that everyday the other ducklings where chuckling,

He cried to mother duck, 

But there was no luck. 

A sad duck,

with no luck,

And Ugly as F .....

Excuse my language, 

For I apologize, 

Because our ugly duckling was very wise.

He knew his looks would never improve, 

So he saved up his money and bought some shoes.

The shoes were so big and flopped every which way,

Now laughter continued to follow him each day. 

Mother duck was upset and had to fix it , 

So she payed for plastic surgery. 

Now the ugly duckling is ugly no more. 

Until one day he came across a hen, 

He fell on his face and now he's ugly again.
