For wanting nothing but food, some sun, and a chance to flap wings
Maybe lay an egg or two (hundred)
For cleaning the yard of tasty pests
And amusing with clownish grace
and unbending beaky grin
Lord love a duck,
Whose human forgot
and left her outside
First choice on the raccoons' midnight menu
Hope there are tasty slugs in duck heaven
So Long,
And thanks for all the eggs

Oooo. Sorry, WT. The Raccoon is like a land shark. A gray killing machine in the shape of a bowling ball bag. Righteous good the duck is.
Land Shark... gray killing machine.... bowling ball bag. Fits perfectly.
Our local raccoons (a gang of four) don't miss much. I may have to outfit any future ducks with kevlar overcoats - or - train a border collie to herd (and protect) them...
