Quacky Adventures

AFFLACK was so bored with his LIFE ON THE DOCK
thought he'd rather leave, than stay there with the flock.
With a waddle and a quack, Afflack "flew the coup"
to wander and explore and eat VEGETABLE SOUP.

Afflack saw a yellow bus and hopped right up in it
to find he was with kids going on a MUSEUM VISIT.
Surrounded by humans, with children loud and active
he got scared and froze up, like a PLASTIC CAPTIVE.

In a gentle voice, Miss Daisy said, "Let's leave the bird alone
for the scared little duck needs to go back to his home."
So the teacher gently guided Afflack back outside the bus
and he flew, quacking loudly, 'cuz he'd just had quite enough!

Thank you so much, Emile! I'm so glad you enjoyed my poem :) it was a challenge to find a story for the first five titles to my poems, but I somehow found a story from them! Hugs, Laura

This is full of fun and adventure offering the allure of fantasy and ethereal childhood possibilities. Your emotions and wit wrap themselves around your words and the effect is magical to the reader. Emile. #7
