The Duck
Behold the duck. It does not cluck. A cluck it lacks. It quacks. It is specially fond Of a puddle or pond. When it dines or sups, It bottoms ups.

The Duck - meaning Summary
Playful Literalism About Identity
Nash's short comic poem observes a duck with playful bluntness. Using simple rhyme and rhythms, it notes what a duck is and is not—unlike a chicken it quacks—and emphasizes bodily, habitual behaviors: fondness for water and an upside-down feeding posture. The tone is whimsical, treating animal traits as amusing facts and celebrating the duck's distinctiveness through economical lines and light, childlike logic.
