My response to this poem:

There is just something about this that makes me think of wet spring days, wellie boots and feeding the ducks!

 All along the backwater,
 Through the rushes tall,
 Ducks are a-dabbling,
 Up tails all!

 Ducks' tails, drakes' tails,
 Yellow feet a-quiver,
 Yellow bills all out of sight
 Busy in the river!

 Everyone for what he likes!
 We like to be
 Heads down, tails up,
 Dabbling free!

 High in the blue above
 Swifts whirl and call -
 We are down a-dabbling
 Up tails all!
