Just Ducky

When sex was as common as muck
The Mallard took over as "Duck"
Not much for playing
The hens were laying
Because one and all loved its pluck*

* Like American police, 
Anas platyrhynchos  drakes mate
- repeatedly - with anything they 
can get in a neckhold - and eagerly
join in gangbangs, leaving no doubt
that Chinese women had neither 
voice nor choice in the selection of
the duck as a symbol of happiness!"

Ducklings on O'ahu have short lives as they are number one on the breakfast menu of egrets and heron. Aloha! Rico

Hello Rico ... I can't deny after watching farmyard ducks and drakes when I was a small child. I thought they just enjoyed playing chasey - thanks Rico - Lindsay

As you know, nature is quite an education! I once saw a "cute" baby chimp grab a teddy bear, tear out an hole between its legs, rape it, sink its fangs into the back of its neck, rip out the stuffing, then toss it aside like the broken toy it was. I always wonder how people can be so foolish as to bring an animal into their home! Aloha! Rico
