A Duck Escape


Very pleased to meet you, I’m sure
‘Though I’m not all that high off the floor
I like land, air and wet
But better than that
I like nibbles and bread and much more!

Got any?

I need a surreal escape today, and this little chap has provided just that, with the inspiration for a Silly Limerick! And if you look closely, you will see that the duck is actually smiling (more so in his eyes)!

    Such a cute guy, Tom. I like your rhyme too. Reminds me of a song I taught my school kids.”Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck may be somebody’s uncle……..” 😅

      Thanks Sylvia. Ducks seem to inspire randomness, don’t they? 😁

      Even though we can’t give bread to them, Beverly, they still like it! 😁
      I think it’s the amount we collectively give them that’s the issue… or so I read once.
      But I agree, he is a fine looking specimen!

    Sooooo Handsome! He does look a bit hungry yet he is plump and sassy….He just wants food and attention…..Take him home to the mansion TL….If ducks can stay in that exclusive hotel, he can be at the mansion! VK

      He’d probably fit in very well at the Mansion, VK, but would miss his friends at the Lake. They couldn’t all come here, not like those running critters in the video! 😳😁

        Oh sure they could! Look at all the floors and wings you have there. They could have their own space with a duck door to go in and out to the pond. Great fun 🙂

          I suppose… but the Mansion may move the duck door and they’d end up stuck outside anyway. You know what the Mansion’s like! 🙄😄

    Love a duck! How about these little chaps who live just up the road from me?
    I assume you have a vineyard at the Mansion? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ErP1wrHoK0

      No vineyard here, Chris – not that I know of anyhow! Unless there’s one in the Iter Grinds. I do love ducks, but that many (in the video) zipping back and to would probably drive me quackers! 😁

      Thanks again, Prenin.
      I was lucky to have my mobile phone with me when the duck wandered up! 🙂

      I didn’t have anything for him, though, Diane, but he never lost his smile! 😀
