Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Ducks tsk
I used to be considered full of fun
Sharing my joy with every one
From harmless pranks
Receiving jolly thanks
From those I cheered (up)
Which brings me to ducks?
How they arrived on the lawn
After a frightening storm
First there were two
Then...quite a few
I blame the two decoys
Placed for folks to enjoy
Avoiding the city centre
Where old folk scarce venture
Came an oasis of sorts
Where fake ducks had bought
An escape from the mundane
Two mallard ducks
What caused all the fuss?
I did not mean to cause trouble
From my quiet humble hovel
However, things turned nasty
When the ducks started to party
“They’re all fakes” said old Bertie
Bob placed them at one thirty
Now they're all dirty
I've been staring at my qwerty
getting a tad shirty
Gone is my substance
Replaced with come uppance
That's it until next time
I hope some words will rhyme
AS my former acquaintance Leon Petulengro, Seventh son of a seventh once said to me
Good life
Good health
in Romany
kushte sante
kushte bok
For good measure, after lunch he told me to "watch your back"
It was years later that it dawned on me that he meant my figurative back and not my physical back.
Ah well
