PS, i know it as:
Be kind to our web footed friends
For a duck maybe somebody's mother,
be kind to your friends in the swamp
Where it's dark, cold and damp.
You may think that this is the end.
Well it is.


Oh heck! Helen, you forgot that all things optical are, in effect, an illusion. Sorry. I must now remove you from my list of the seven people on Earth who fully understand the reason why the sun and moon seem to loom so large when on the horizon.

Bye-the-sweet bye and bye, just curious Helen; did you all, like we all, sing "Web Footed Friends" to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"?
