Duck Side Story

You have your North side ducks, And you have your south side ducks. Neither the twain shall meet. For each one had his nose in the air. They simply would not do the greet. So as it happens they would dance with flair in the middle of the pond. Always trying to out do the other side…Yes, let’s call it ‘Stomp The Pond’ Wings in motion lifting them up, to stomp the waters with their feet Acrobatics and splashing around… Man it looked so neat. So Stella, one of the South Side Ducks fell in love with her North side Pete. But she couldn’t cross the middle of the pond, with so much action in the way. Fussing, blustering, and carryings on were the name of the day. But you know, there’s always one strange duck, and that’s the one who built a bridge. Now all the others could come across or watch the stomp from the middle of the id. My moral, I say to you young ones… is as appealing as stomping can be… The world works better when brought together… By the builders of a bridge.

How I enjoyed your delightful description of the "Stomp the Pond," Carol. The conflict reminds me of the classes we see in society today and you have a great message at the end. Very nice! Love, Carolyn
