A Deduction

"I can't, for my life,"
Quacked the Drake to his wife,
"Tell which of our children are males."
Said the Duck with a smile,
"We must wait for a while
And observe which have curls in their tails."

    this is an accurate ornithological observance and look at how much humor is in the title alone!

    I do so wish that I was able to advance through Tabb's work but everytime I start, I get to about the 8th or 10th poem and the (next) button sends me back to the one I started at! Is there anyone at oldpoetry who can remedy this problem?
