Afternoon With the Ducks

Afternoon with The Ducks I sat down on a wooden bench In the park one Scorching Summer day It was hot It was humid I decided to write anyway Angry thoughts in my mind Feelings of frustration Needed to unwind As I worked on a scene from my pretend play The intensity of my thoughts drifted away I looked up from my yellow notebook A pair of Ducks approached me I had to take a second look This odd pair of Mallards Started flapping their wings Their quacking in unison Sounded like they were trying to sing This fowl twosome were quite entertaining I no longer felt the need for complaining So if you feel your life is in flux Spend an afternoon with the Ducks Joseph Adam Elward
