Devour Duck - - - T-A-I-L-S

Men come down for fun,
Duck hover, on edge of dune.
Crowd move down, open gun,
Whop… knock off duck, under moon.   
Cook over ember, devour upon noon.

This was a cool poem,Greg! It almost made me feel like I was there (although I would have my qualms with shooting the duck, poor duck, nothing personal to you nor this poem, just me ^_^...), but I would have enjoyed cooking and devouring the duck :)-- Super duper congrats on your win here!
