Boston's Public Garden

BOSTON’S PUBLIC GARDEN

Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, Quack!
Robert McClosky wrote a special story,
About these ducklings in Boston’s Public Garden.
Weeping willows dangling in the water,
Paths to walk on, tulips all in bloom.

Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, Quack!
The Paget family runs their little business
Pedaling their swan boats; visitors on board.
Springtime flowers, benches to sit on.
People taking pictures, statues all around.

Like you’re in the country but you’re
In a park designed by Fredrick Olmstead.
He designed Manhattan’s Central Park.
People come here packing in a picnic,
Or strolling through before they go to work.

Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack . . . Quack!
