Card-Carrying Septuagenarian

Do colorful ducks get all my food
    a lot depends on my shifting mood
  If I feel sorry for a plain brown duck
    I might throw him more, to change his luck

  Does the best-behaved kid get this teacher's praise
    not necessarily, if his arm's never raised
  I encourage questions from inquiring minds
    not 'perfect kids,' who sit on their behinds 

  As a card-carrying septuaginarian
    I'm just as proud to be a contrarian
