A tourist stopped in Mallardville,
to see what might be there,
sidled up to locals
in competing savoir faire.
The Monsieurs sized each other up
in manly bivouac
while Madame Mallard plainly
didn’t seem to give a quack.

A pandemic, $4.50 gas, and now two dudes – nah, she’s not interested. š I know how she feels. š Hope you have a good Friday, Maureen, and thank you for the smile.

I do love your commentary on the trio. It was hilarious to watch them, and heaven knows we need the distraction. I send hopes for a good day for you too, Judy!

This was thee perfect thing to read at the start of my Friday. What a wonderful distraction. Iām still giggling.
I hope you have a great weekend, Maureen.

Thanks, Dan, and the same to you! Glad you liked the ducks — they put on quite the show.

I had to laugh at this. My husband shakes his head at me sometimes, “Language!!” Have a good weekend, Maureen.

Thanks, Lois — you too! I do believe that once or twice in my life I’ve had a head shaken at me. For no good reason, of course.

Of course! š

Today’s short poem is fantastic, it made me laugh out loud! I can totally relate to not giving a quack.
As I age, I find there are fewer things worthy of giving a quack, don’t you think? It keeps me balanced.

Well said! We should be very selective about our quackings. Keeping balance is no small thing these days. Thanks!

Mrs Mallard is making her own shelter, hiding her head under her wing. We just got caught in the rain – being able to do that would have been very handy.

I do agree that being a duck would come in handy sometimes. I hope you didn’t get soaked!

Nothing a change of clothing couldn’t fix. I’m in Mississippi (first trip for well over 2 years) and the rain here is heavier than it is at home.

I am so pleased to hear this! Not that you got rained on, but that it’s Mississippi rain! It has indeed been a long while.
