Best Duck Poems

it was the sixties
we were young
we were going to change the world
spin it like a basketball on our finger
take the three point shot 
win the game
we had great leaders 
john, robert, martin...

the planet was singing 
with the purity of a four year old
...
The ants go...

The Duck That Lost His Quack


A Duck woke up late one day last week,
And all he could do was to squeak.
He looked everywhere and listened to different things, 
Even heard sounds all around, from pings to zings.

For example, he tried many gates, stairs, and barn...

Another lame duck
That ran out of luck
Encountered financial loss
A failure at work
Now seen as a jerk
He happens to be the boss!

Employees revolt
His feathers will moult
His dignity has been plucked
He needs a new perk
Lost wife then his work
In more than one way he’s f***ed.

I was a sitting duck when the tide came in.
No idea it would go past my chin.
I struggled and I flopped.
I bucked and I hopped.
It took me way out to sea.
I went under quickly, poor little me.

But a dolphin came along and gave me a...

A lady took her duck to the Vet!
He examined the duck, then he said,
"I'm sorry Miss, to inform you,
but I'm afraid, your pet duck is dead!"

"I find it hard, to believe you!
Is there no more tests, you can do?"
He opened the door, then he told...

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 watched the worst movie ever made, it truly sucks.
The movie that I'm talking about is Howard the Duck.
It has scarred and cursed me for life.
Because of this movie, I lost my wife.
Seeing that movie also struck me blind.
This movie is an abomination to mankind.
Now...

Lake Eliza 2...
Out near dusty Lake Eliza
Lived sweety tart, where flies are
Sucked oddly Emu eggs some sunny days
Like a dozen egg appetiser     (1 egg = 1 dozen fowl egg)
She got em off the miser
Rotten eggs old Emu walked away  ...

Shut the duck up
Or is it a goose
Always honking
Noisy creature
Shut the duck up
Aflax!!!
I knew that you would get in the last word!  

This is not meant to resemble 
anyone or anything..
Just written for fun!
My sense of humor has returned!

I have no idea what form...

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
In the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do...

That was the last call.
       Aunt Rosie and the kids have left.
               They’re      safe
     The rest...

Is it not odd that a duck
   does not know how to cluck

Ducks know how to quack
   but a cluck they do lack

A hen's a chicken, not a duck
   And can she ever cluck...

Do you know who came first

In springtime's realm, by a lake so fair, 
A princely duck, with a crown to wear. 
His consort, a beauty by his side, 
In love, they swam, on waters wide.

In my little lake, a royal scene, 
All ducks joined in, the waters between. 
Migrating geese...

Wishing I could be anywhere but right here,
On a dream bathed with barley and low lined cloud.
Relishing nature's eagerness to endear,
Leaving the busyness and roar of the crowd,
Delighting in vast small grain fields freshly plowed.

Ceasing to care of expectations once placed,
Rising only to meet the...

calm
placid
clear blue lake
serene and still
in a wide palm-fringed
rich green verdant valley

mother duck leads and swims
in the tranquil lake
ducklings white, soft
follow her
one by
one
