Who Am I?

By Colleen Fahy

Rain is not a problem.

It rolls right off my back.

If there is something I must say,

I say it with a quack.

I am a __ __ __ __.

I’m up at dawn each day

To wake the sleeping farm.

Since I crow loud and clear,

They don’t need an alarm.

I am a __ __ __ __ __ __ __.

I spend the day at pasture—

Munching grass to my delight.

I must be milked twice a day—

In the morning and at night.

I am a __ __ __.

I give wool for sweaters—

For this I must be sheared.

Without my own woolly coat,

I look a little weird.

I am a __ __ __ __ __.
