Father Duck’s early attempts at Nursery Rhymes weren’t always successful. For example, The Real Jack and Jill…
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And was like “Dude! Really? Who puts a well at the at the top of a hill? I mean COME ON. What’s a boy gotta do to get indoor plumbing?!?.
Oh Bob. You and your breathe. Bob, one of Father Duck’s classmates at Rhyming Uninursery, had a strange hunger for onions. Father Duck wrote this poem in hopes that Bob would take note and fix his problem. Mother Goose would later steal his idea, adapting it for Jack Be Nimble.
Bob Be Hungry
Bob be hungry,
Bob be dense,
Bob ate onions
And now needs mints.
Before there was Mary and her little lamb, Father Duck told the tale of Larry, and his giant pig. A cautionary tale of the dangers of taking your pet pig to school.
Larry riding his pig.
Larry had a giant pig,
Its butt was fat and wide;
And everywhere that Larry went,
The pig gave him a ride.
He rode him to school one day,
Which wasn’t very cool.
For when he went to lunch.
They fed him to the school.

The Life and Adventures of Jeff Duckworth is proud to present to you Father Duck. What? Never heard of Father Duck? Not many people have. He is Mother’s Goose’s cousin and a brilliant Nursery Rhymer in his own right. As a matter of fact, many of Mother Goose’s Rhymes were taken directly from Father Duck…Humpty Dumpty for example. Below is the original, pre Mother Goose version written by Father Duck.
