Foul Play

One day when a brave dashing young drake,
    Landed upon a coastal salt lake.
    He saw a pretty young duck,
    But, he was way out of luck.
    For the gorgeous young duck was a fake.

    Far too late, he found out his mistake,
    As he started to shiver and shake.
    When the wildfowler's gun stuck,
    That left the drake quite dumbstruck.
    He fell prey to a giant sea snake.
