I took some of the lyrics from @kahlo2013, somewhat twisted the meaning, stretched the metaphor and put it in a minor key.

Chords are: Dm G Am F (omitting the F at the end of each stanza)

#acousticonetake phone recording. If you listen carefully, you can hear next door drilling in tune at the very end.

Lyrics

All my ducks have escaped They're running all over the place I want to be organised To be happy

I need a little order, get myself in sync Resist the temptation to just have another drink I could catch up with my to-do list I think

I ain't got my ducks in a row but I've got to go

Find myself in the water Splashing round and feeling okay But end up in the deep end Can't find my feet again

Ducks all around me swimming free Ducks gonna drown me, in too deep If they'd just stay in order Perhaps I could avoid it

I ain't got my ducks in a row but I've got to go

Just Duck! Love the direction you took the morph! Sounds great and love the new sentiment and minor key. Thanks for jumping into the morph and moving it forward m. FYI when you get to be my age and realize that after over 60 years of trying to get your ducks in a row it is unlikely to happen, you say screw it, let things fall where they may and make the most of it 😁🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

Ha! There was a drill. At least it was in tune. 😄 Do people really have their ducks in a row? And if you have to have your ducks in a row to be truly happy, I'm screwed. But there you go. Minor key makes this feel very serious. I suppose to all the ducks in a row folks out there, it is. Good job on the morph.
