What
are the odds on the same day this would happen? Yes, every word is true. I did
see a mother duck and her duckling. My dear husband did let a mated pair of
them cross the road and then…. (poor guy)! He’s doing okay (thanks for asking).
For
the Love of Ducks
Spring
has sprung
The
grass is riz
The
ducks are out
And
walking about
I
swerved and weaved
But
still kept speed
As
a mother and baby duckling
These
two tiny things
Waddled
across my road
On
I went to my abode
They
strode calmly across
As
drivers avoided them at all cost
There
was no loss
Mother
duck being boss
To
baby who distractedly wandered
Running
in spasms, blundered,
Its
fuzzy headed hopping
Fixated
each driver scoping
How
best to avoid such a loving scene
Maneuvering
our bulky machines
Out
of the path of this little family
Watching
in my rear view mirror with glee
As
they made it to safety
You,
however, did a different endeavor
You
took such great care
You
stopped and took in
Probably
with a big grin
As
a mated pair of ducks
Crossed
your busy road
It
was just your luck
In
the path of these ducks
You
sat contemplating
Their
lifelong mating
Just
before she came up behind
You
saw her but not in time
To
do anything about it
(I
expect you shouted)
The
thud and crunch
Where
your cars munched
A
hit, a very palpable hit!
I’m
sure your stomach turned flips
Your
first accident to date!
And
it made you so very late
I
wondered why I had to wait
Not
knowing what you paid
And
where you stayed delayed
I
asked if the ducks made it
You
never hesitated
But
told me quite proudly
That
they made it soundly
