Ode To Ducks

Walking past the zoo
and they have a giant
poster of a duck hung up.
Surely there are more qualified
animals to display to 
convince would-be zoo
goers that they need to
spend money to see wildlife.
Just a moment ago
I saw 8 ducks at the lake
on the way here.
2 of them even quacked
and ruffled their feathers in 
a fury.
The best things in life
are free and have
webbed feet.
