Summary: A rhyme about all three Duck Boys, inspired by a nursery rhyme.

Two Duck Boys went out each day
To pursue criminals the Chicago way.
Lieutenant Welsh said “Stay on track.
Catch those perps and bring them back.”

Two Duck Boys went out one day
When Chicago mobsters were on the way.
After a fateful car-bomb attack
Only one Duck Boy was left to go back.

A new Duck Boy appeared one day
And stayed in the seasons of the second Ray.
Two Duck Boys again, and making wisecracks
As they worked on their comedy club comebacks.

Two Duck Boys went out each day
To pursue criminals the Chicago way.
Lieutenant Welsh said “It’s a fact
That one Duck Boy or another -- or another -- comes back.”

This just demands reading aloud with rhythmic table smacking. Luckily no one was home when I read it! ^_^
