I have et and what have I et?
\nI have et the leg of a mallard.<\/p>\n
Leg, leggy
\nThigh, thighy
\nShin, shinny
\nFoot, footy
\nWeb, webby
\nHeel, heely
\nToe, toey
\nTwo nippers and all!
\nAnd goos a meat was the mallard.
\nNow I am in Debility House,
\nAnd good a meat was the mallard.<\/p>\n
(Cumulatively, adding:)<\/p>\n
Wing, wingy
\nRump, rumpy
\nNeck, necky
\nHead, heady
\nBilly, billy
\nTongue, tonguey
\nQuack, quacky<\/p>\n
And good a meat was the mallard.
\nNow I am in Debility House,
\nAnd good a meat was the mallard!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
