There once was an ugly duckling
With feathers all stubby and brown
And the other birds said in so many words
Get out of town
Get out, get out, get out of town
And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
In a flurry of eiderdown
That poor little ugly duckling
Went wandering far and near
But at every place they said to his face
Now get out, get out, get out of here
And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
And a very unhappy tear
All through the wintertime he hid himself away
Ashamed to show his face, afraid of what others might say
All through the winter in his lonely clump of wheat
Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed
You?re a very fine swan indeed!
A swan? Me a swan? Ah, go on!
And he said yes, you?re a swan Take a look at yourself in the lake and you?ll see
And he looked, and he saw, and he said
I am a swan! Wheeeeeeee!
I?m not such an ugly duckling
No feathers all stubby and brown
For in fact these birds in so many words said
The best in town, the best, the best
The best in town
Not a quack, not a quack, not a waddle or a quack
But a glide and a whistle and a snowy white back
And a head so noble and high
Say who?s an ugly duckling?
Not I!
Not I!
That?s what I thought ? it was a swan, not a cygnet?.  drumroll:

Yes, but when it was little, what would you have called it? Me, I'd have called it a cygnet on the basis that it is the correct term for a young swan!

Oh, and by the way Wench, thanks for posting the song - it has turned into a bloody earworm! I can't get it out of my head! I think I might just smote you for that one!

Good grief Barman! When it grew up it was a swan, however when it was being refered to as an ugly duckling it wasn't it was a cygnet.

No probs Ghostly one. I was infected with it so saw no reason why others should get off scott free! eveilgrin:

Dear Auntie Nick,

My wife has become addicted to an internet chat forum and consequently I see very little of her. She just sits in her office tap, tapping away on her keyboard and generally ignoring me? I just took her up a glass of wine and she didn?t even acknowledge my existence?

Don?t worry about it though, I quite like it?  ;)
