Answer explanation

Ducks are a-dabbling,

Up tails all!

Ducks' tails, drakes' tails,

Yellow feet a-quiver

Yellow bills all out of sight

Busy in the river!

Slushy green undergrowth

Where the roach swim -

Here we keep our larder,

Cool and full of dim.

Every one for what he likes!

We like to be

Heads down, tails up,

Dabbling free!

High in the blue above

Swifts whirl and call -

We are down a-dabbling,

Up tails all!
