The Indeterminate Constant.
All That Is And
All That Is Not.
Antithetical Product
Divided: [Quack.]
Superpositioned Entanglement
Touched By All Motive And
Motionless, Massless ENERGY!
Indeterminate Everything.

Hoarse And Melodic

If an apple a day
keeps the doctor away
to such proverb
he'd not subscribe
as the income lost
to defray his cost
foolish he would ascribe
and instead
if looking sickly feeling ill
on my deathbed
a home visit plus pill
he'd quickly prescribe
as a patient I used to be
but now a customer that is me
and the Hippocratic Oath
he ducks like a quack
as to quote it he is quite loath
Sidewalks and roads morning, noon, and night
Hectic bustle of today’s life
From young tiny feet
To the old with silver in their hair
The noise of cars, trucks, and buses
Along with the machines that are improving
The roads, bridges, and sidewalks that are utilized daily
A symphony of chaos trying to distract our attention
Our attention we need to stay on course
Ensuring are safety is never out of reach
To reach out destination in one peace and safe.
With a quack, quack, quack, so our journey begins
How to safely cross the street. We quack, quack, quack with our partners
Our hand in hand while we look up and down the street we quack, quack, quack.
The next step still hand in hand is to cross the street with care.
Crossing the street we say waddle, waddle, waddle until we reach our
Goal of the other side of the street. Until safely reached
We repeat waddle, waddle, waddle until safely all reached.
Twas the night before Christmas, I finished the trees.
And feeling good cheer, I'd drank a few beers.
The treats I'd laid out didn't last very long.
As I found myself snacking, I knew that was wrong.
Then, later in bed, I awoke with a start.
And realized the reason: my own noisy fart.
Like sounds of ducks quacking, my buttocks were clapping.
I was almost surprised that the bed sheets weren't flapping.
It woke my poor spouse, and he yelled, "What the hell!"
As the noise from these quack-ers had caused quite a smell.
I told him a flock of wild ducks had flown in.
And although it was late, they'd decided to sing.
He said grab the Gas-X and tell them to leave.
As their singing was lousy, and he felt he might heave.
I told him I'd looked, but the Gas-X was gone.
And I feared that the duck tunes may last all night long.
So I handed him earbuds plus nose plugs as well.
And I said that would help block the sounds and the smell.
He gave me a look, then he quickly fired back.
"There's a wine cork downstairs; it will help plug that quack."
My sweet little baby, don’t you cry,
You are Mommy’s sweetie pie.
I love you a bushel and a peck,
And a big hug around the neck.
I love you to the moon and back,
Even more than a duck that goes quack-quack.
But most of all, I love you morning and night,
And I love you with all my all might.
Let me whisper in your ear,
I love you there, everywhere, but most of all I love you here.
Now close your eyes and go to sleep,
Dream of puppy dogs and bahbah little white sheep.
In August of the year nineteen thirty-five
A soul was born some say a genius did arrive
His name was Jack
A bit of a quack
Since then his mind seems a wee bit deprived
Donald has a dreadful cough,
His so-called friends are dropping off.
He has been a naughty boy,
Donald would not share his toys,
Now he faces Judges Wrath.
You know the old saying your goose is cooked
Whenever I hear that I really get shooked
I hear there's some truth to that nasty old saying
I'm valuable because of the many eggs I keep laying
You have to learn how to run really fast
If you don't, how long will your life last
I've learned to do more then just waddle
You'd be smart to use me as a role model
Don't get caught walking around here alone
The inside of a kettle will be your next home
Keep your bill shut, don't utter a honk or quack
If you get noticed it may be your last act

This little duck didn't have webbed feet
Other ducks laughed when they'd meet
His mama said, I think it is really neat
He swims and waddles to his own beat
This little duck was named Webless Hank
When others laughed his little heart sank
After all he had no trouble walking on land
His daddy said his swimming was quite grand
You know this little duck could even climb trees
And swing from branches, tail waving in the breeze
He grew up proud with great parents he could thank
No matter how big the pond, he would have never sank
So how this tail ends I'll tell you my feathered friends
When the wind blows, with it you must always learn to bend
No matter how much and loud the other ducks honk and quack
Pay no attention, let it roll like water off a duck's back

Ted doesn’t like his past.
He has yet to think fast:
Clear not shadowy past,
Lies warranting a blast…
Plain Butcher for Doctor
Poor Loser as Victor
Roles that rolled on to jail,
Court’s Ruling to not fail…
Flags we’d fly at half mast
For Heroes who did last;
Ted was The Damned Miscast:
World of Drama’s Outcast!
Ted to break with his past,
Witnesses now aghast:
They’d say he was A Quack,
Qualifications did lack
Worse mention The Buried:
Three Happily Married…
“I come Afghanistan!
First, meet Face Surgeon, Stan."
Sam Adams was a quack, a fake
Not there to protect but to take
He was on the make
He was a total flake
Make no mistake
As he was such a rake.
A real snake.
In August of the year nineteen thirty-five
A soul was born, some say a genius did arrive
His name was Jack
A bit of a quack
Since then, his mind seems a wee bit deprived

Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance Quack - Nursery Rhyme
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance quack
a brain I do not lack
I'm a know-it-all
but I do recall
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance snatch
that I had met my match
when a contest judged
that a word was smudged
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance crossed
I know that I had lost
I went home to pack
and did not look back
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance quack
This fairy-tale means, If you are the smartest
in the room, it's because you're in the wrong room.

Did you know ducks are known as “quack addicts”
Got a million more, three of which I'll now inflict
On my unsuspecting pals
Here on this weird locale
Don't get all squirrely, you guys are hand picked
