Ten Little Ducks: Ten little ducks went out one day Over the hills and far away Mother duck said Quack Quack Quack But only nine little ducks came back Nine little ducks went out one day Over the hills and far away Mother duck said Quack Quack Quack But only eight little ducks came back This song contined losing one duck after another until there are no little ducks coming back back back! It might have been a children’s song but old Mother Duck is not unlike a religious order. Each day the failed quack quack quack that never worked till now is redeployed until there’s nothing left! And yes, there are only nine ducks in the photo (one never came back!)
Ten Little Ducks:

Ten little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck said Quack Quack Quack
But only nine little ducks came back

Nine little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck said Quack Quack Quack
But only eight little ducks came back

This song contined losing one duck after another until there are no little ducks coming back back back!

It might have been a children’s song but old Mother Duck is not unlike a religious order. Each day the failed quack quack quack that never worked till now is redeployed until there’s nothing left!

And yes, there are only nine ducks in the photo (one never came back!)
