This is another piece from ‘The Misfortunes of Others’
Pastry Girl went out to play
But on that sad and fateful day
She forgot her mother’s words
To stay away from flocks of birds
Whilst bending down to feed a duck
Pastry Girl ran out of luck
She fell in that languid lake
For pastry Girl, a big mistake!
But for that duck and swan and teal
She became a tasty meal
