Ducks’ – by Des Kelly

Duck

While everyone knows that I am a lover of good music, most of my friends do not realize that I am also a dedicated animal & bird lover and always have been. Yes, I am, so it amazes and riles me to learn of any wanton cruelty to ANY of our fellow-creatures on this Planet.

This disgusting habit of Duck-Shooting apalls me. Why it has ever been permitted ANYWHERE,

I will never know, so here is a special VERSE I have written, which I hope will get these so-called duck hunters into a different mindset.

Duck

Duck

WTF., ? ?, IS MY MAIN QUESTION, (WHY)

DO YOU GO OUT, SHOOTING DUCK, ???

YOU’RE A BAD SHOT, LIKE MOST OF YOU, ARE,

SO THESE POOR DUCKS ARE  OUT OF LUCK,

A STRAY BULLET WILL THEN HIT ONE,

CAUSING SO MUCH GRIEF & PAIN,

IT SEEMS TO KNOW AS IT FALLS TO EARTH,

IT WILL NEVER FLY AGAIN.

THERE ARE RESTAURANTS A-PLENTY,

WHERE THEY SERVE YOU PEKING DUCK,

 GO EAT THERE, IF YOU’RE HUNGRY,

SO THERE’S NO NEED TO BE STUCK.

JUST DON’T GO OUT TO SHOOT THEM,

THEY HAVE DONE NOBODY WRONG,

LET THEM FLY FREE IN A CLEAR BLUE SKY,

THIS IS WHERE THEY DO BELONG.

WILFUL CRUELTY TO ANY ANIMAL, BIRD, FISH, OR SERPENT, SHOULD BE BANNED FOR LIFE.. D.K.
