Intro
Bobo builds a block-road way
For his yellow duck today.
Verse 1
At a gap, the wheels must stop.
How can duck roll to the top?
One long, wide block reaches through,
But standing tall will never do.
Chorus
Turn it, test it, make it flat.
Can it bridge from this to that?
Tap it gently; does it stay?
Careful tests can find a way.
Verse 2
Bobo turns the block around,
Lays both ends on steady ground.
No big wobble, no big shake.
This is one strong bridge to take.
Final Chorus
Turn it, test it, make it flat.
Now the duck rolls over that.
Every wheel stays safe and true.
Bobo cheers, “My bridge works too!”
Outro
Try another way when plans feel wrong.
A careful builder makes things strong.
