The Duck

There once was a duck
Who was down on his luck
Left with only a buck
And an old pick up truck
Covered in rusty messy muck
Filled with old used hockey pucks
He said, "Ya know, this kinda sucks."

Author notes

Just something I made up on the spot to make my sister laugh. She was having a bad day and I was writing some poetry. When I tried to give her a pep talk she just kinda blew me off, so I called her a duck. Then she wanted me to tell her a story and this is what came out. She laughed for hours. I hope you like it!

Did I get you to laugh?

    How about following the first 4 lines with something like....

    He swapped the old Ford
    for a snake oil rack
    All the folks down in town
    Now call him a quack!

    How lucky she is to have such a loving and creative sister! Great to use your talent to lift others!

    Hugs,
    Ma

    You're silly. To answer your question, I didn't laugh, or even smile. I think it's one of those things you have to be there for. The first two lines are fine, but the rest of the poem is so pointless that I lost interest. But I love you anyhow.
