There Once Was a Duck there once was a duck who lived on a farm ill-tempered, attacked folk, did them harm. victims shouted, "please duck no"! "stop it now or in the pot, you'll go". there once was a duck, the point of this yarn. Picture 1 01/10/18 There is a Brighter Side - Poetry Contest sponsored by Eve Roper A 3rd place. there once was a duck, (is)* the point of this yarn. * An oversight, :( Could been higher placed had it not been for the 'is', ;-)

Thanks James, pity the terrorist I.S. can't be removed as easily. The last line would of been 10 syllables long if it hadn't of been for the 'is'. Still please forgive my somewhat flippant remark at the beginning, couldn't resist ;-) Take care, best forever wishes... Mick
