The Duck
Behold the duck.
It does not cluck.
A cluck it lacks.
It quacks.
It is specially fond
Of a puddle or pond.
When it dines or sups,
It bottoms ups.
Ogden Nash

OH it's OK Sandra. I'm always happy to hear from you. I know you are very busy. We just had another snow storm believe it or not. I hope you are having better weather. We are back to below freezing, again.

Seeing these lovely ducks reminded me ;-
Years ago, our local Echo asked for nonsense poems from readers, so I sent in this little ditty;
"Hello Duck" the marrow said
is that water deep?
"No it's not" the duck replied
"it's just above my feet"
So the marrow trundled sideways
and slid into the river,
but a heavy marrow doesn't float
and now he's gone forever!!
It didn't win I might add!!! :))
