An Indian Runner (Duck) Poem by JJ Evendon

An Indian Runner ‘Vicar’ Duck is what I am.
I stand up straight so that i can survey the land.
Though I can talk – well quack actually, walk, run and of course swim,
all that I ask is that you take me in.
I am that special breed of duck that has stubby little wings
and when I get excited, I run around and flap those funny looking little things.
The ‘Vicar’ Duck of Bockmer pond is what I want to be
and to have my own congregation of two girls and a boy – that’s a total of three.
If you want to include guinea pigs ‘Twilight’ and ‘Starlight’ then that’s OK.
Life for a duck can sometimes be hard and so I was made that way.
Being and feeling part of your family is all I ever wish to be.
For if I ask one small favour for you to do,
then thank this person that rescued and brought me here to you.

Quack Quack
