Read the poetic work below and answer the question:


There are ninety-nine thousand ducks sitting on a branch

ninety-nine thousand, indeed

If a single duck dresses

his salad with ranch,

then no more ducks shall there be.

For if a duckie

may wander too far

and have too little money

to pay for a car,

then this duckie shall perish

in flame and remorse;

his life uncherished,

and lived without purpose.

For ranch; I detest it!

With all my heart

and if I must kill duckies,

to break hatred apart,

then I shall do this.

I shall do this! For hear when I say,

of all salad dressings,

ranch must stay away!

Read the poetic work below and answer the question:


All day and night he was a climbing,

Peabrain Sam, ol' Peabrain Sam

til his legs ached and he began whining,

Peabrain Sam, ol' Peabrain Sam

but when he came upon a king,

Peabrain Sam, ol' Peabrain Sam

he stretched his arms to Sam in welcoming,

Peabrain Sam, ol' Peabrain Sam

said the king to he,

"I am Dirgoas Philmontagros,

plain as can be,

groovier than a ten-legged hippo,

I challenge you to a game of limbo,

and if you lose you'll surely die,

for your head will be my prize!

But if you win, I do declare

on the life of my own heir,

I, the King of the Mountaintops,

shall gift to you a golden box,

filled to the brim of shiny riches.

So what say you?

Pull up your britches!"

And the game of limbo was sure played

tough and risky, equally weighted

until the king, in all his might,

collapsed at last at mere the sight

of a limbo pole so low

not a mouse beneath it could go!

So off took Peabrain Sam with all the riches.

"Hoorah!" he cried, "hoorah!"


What was Sam?
