There Is a Brighter Side

Picture#1 -"No! means NOTHING to a duck-
(A duck chasing a young girl across a yard)

Today, I went to the pond to sit and eat a snack I shared a little here and a little there with my buddy He has a white, plump body of down and a beak of orange He is my friend, the duck He shared my juice by the straw He gobbled up much of the berries, and quacked nothing to the cherries We also shared my crackers with PB&J When all was done, I got up to go And I was given quite a surprise With a loud, "Quack!" My friend the duck began to attack I jumped to my feet And went on a flee not knowing, "What the Cluck?" With a sprint through the flowers And a splash around the pond I looked back to see where he was No matter my need to rest He wouldn't stop for to fish I wasn't sure what I had... Then holding in my hand I saw were The very last 2 crackers with PB&J He simply wouldn't stop until all was gone So I stopped  and shared because I realized "No!" Means nothing to a duck

I had an experience like that before. I never knew ducks would attack. It was both funny and scary at the same time. I enjoyed your poem very much.
