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!
