The strangest sounds I never heard
Are from a lizard and a bird - 
The quiet voice of the gecko, 
A duck’s quack that doesn’t echo.

Searching olive green shallows

Pied Duck

Pied duck
Late diving when
The sea did roar below                                  
as snowy wings flashed bright and bold,
so white

Bert the turtle 
showed us the way

It’s true, we both swim through the muck,
But don’t compare me to a duck.
No, I wouldn’t do that until
You’ve reckoned my rubbery bill.

Can tell when its owner’s unfed 
So instead of a duck
That is down on its luck 
Will deliver a pizza instead

Who had a golden truck 
He went on a plane 
Got shot in his brain
And the man said that he will pluck the duck

Sadly lost his prize winning duck,
It wandered away
When its fence went astray,
Talk about down on your duck.

There is a duck in the park
Called Billy
He is very, very silly
He bobs about and quacks
And Laughs
Then floats upside down
Completely daft.

little duck dawdles 
looks at the pond for a face
face of white beauty

yellow feet of joy
sunshine of warmth from the sky 
self growth mighty high

Bad Luck Duck

There was a duck down on his luck
Who froze in the back of a truck
When found back in town
They said with a frown
There was not enough down on the duck!

I saw them when I chased a mouse
Crawling in a space so small
On my belly dirt and all
Ten fat eggs all snuggled up

The Duck In the Pharmacy

Once there was a pharmacist in Brazil
Visited by a duck standing very still
He shook his head
When the duck said,
"Give me some lip gloss and put it on my bill"

He dances with quivering quaking shoulder blades.
We saw him down by the everglades.
I wonder if he would take some trades?
