Ducky

If you get sad and lonely,
your heart dry and gone to seed,
don’t try to find a woman,
a duck is what you need.

A duck won’t say you’re lazy,
won’t call you a disgrace,
won’t laugh when you get naked,
at least not to your face.

A duck don’t like to argue,
won’t mope around and cry,
won’t pitch a total hissy fit,
then whack you in the eye.

A duck won’t hog the covers,
won’t tell you that you snore,
make you leave your shoes outside,
or lock the bedroom door.

If you need a bosom buddy,
a duck will be right by your side.
Just ignore the laughter,
when you take him for a ride.

All these things I’ve told you,
are true, not just a hunch,
and if it ever aggravates you,
you can serve it up for lunch.

    Mother Nature taught you well. Your poem beautiful yet deceiving is much like the world around us. I’m a fan, as well.
