Poetry Break: Lord Love A Duck

Lord love a duck, 

For wanting nothing but food, some sun, and a chance to flap wings

Maybe lay an egg or two (hundred)

Lord love a duck,

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
