A duck walked up to a lemonade stand And he said to the man, running the stand “Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?” The man said “No, we just sell lemonade. But it’s cold And it’s fresh And it’s all home-made. Can I get you glass?” The duck said, “I’ll pass.” Then he waddled away. (Waddle waddle) ‘Til the very next day. (Bum bum bum bum Bum da-dum) The duck walked up to the lemonade stand And he said to the man, running the stand, “Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes? The man said “No, like I said yesterday, We just sell lemonade. OK? Why not give it a try?” The duck said, “Goodbye.” Then he waddled away. (Waddle waddle) Then he waddled away. (Waddle waddle waddle) Then he waddled away (Waddle waddle) ‘Til the very next day. (Bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum) When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand And he said to the man running the stand, “Hey! (bum bum bum) Got any grapes? The man said, “Look, this is getting old. I mean, lemonade’s all we’ve ever sold. Why not give it a go?” The duck said, “How ’bout, no.” Then he waddled away (Waddle waddle) Then he waddled away. (Waddle waddle waddle) Then he waddled away (Waddle waddle) ‘Til the very next day. (Bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum) When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand And he said to the man running the stand, “Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?” The man said, “THAT’S IT! If you don’t stay away, Duck, I’ll glue you to a tree and leave you there all day, stuck. So don’t get to close!” The duck said, “Adios.” Then he waddled away. (Waddle waddle) Then he waddled away. (Waddle waddle waddle) Then he waddled away (Waddle waddle) ‘Til the very next day. (Bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum) When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand And he said to the man running the stand, “Hey! (Bum bum bum) got any glue?” “What?” “Got any glue?” “No, why would I– oh!” And one more question for you; “Got any grapes?” (Bum bum bum, bum bum bum) And the man just stopped. Then he started to smile. He started to laugh. He laughed for a while. He said, “Come on duck, let’s walk to the store. I’ll buy you some grapes So you won’t have to ask anymore.” So they walked to the store And the man bought some grapes. He gave one to the duck and the duck said, “Hmm… No thanks. But you know what sounds good? It would make my day. Do you think this store… Do you think this store… Do you think this store…has any… lemonade?”

My Poet I Recited

My country By Dorothea Mackellar

The love of field and coppice
Of green and shaded lanes,
Of ordered woods and gardens
Is running in your veins.
Strong love of grey-blue distance,
Brown streams and soft, dim skies
I know, but cannot share it,
My love is otherwise.

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!

The stark white ring-barked forests,
All tragic to the moon,
The sapphire-misted mountains,
The hot gold hush of noon,
Green tangle of the brushes
Where lithe lianas coil,
And orchids deck the tree-tops,
And ferns the warm dark soil.

Core of my heart, my country!
Her pitiless blue sky,
When, sick at heart, around us
We see the cattle die
But then the grey clouds gather,
And we can bless again
The drumming of an army,
The steady soaking rain.

Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the rainbow gold,
For flood and fire and famine
She pays us back threefold.
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze …

An opal-hearted country,
A wilful, lavish land
All you who have not loved her,
You will not understand
though Earth holds many splendours,
Wherever I may die,
I know to what brown country
My homing thoughts will fly.

What the waves sound made me think of!
