Ballad of the Duck
"There's no one out there for me," the duck said to the goose
"Not even the farmers there for me, this morning he turned me loose"
The goose put his wings around and said with cheery aloof
"I can show you there is you see, if you want the proof"
The duck felt apprehensive, and worried on his luck
"Come on," called the goose, "let's find you another duck!"
The duck refused to move, to take off from the ground
That was until he heard a very fatal sound
They flew towards the mountains, each at the others side
On and on until they found its cavernous divide
They landed on the rocks and the goose cried out with glee
"I know there's someone here for you, 'cause there's someone here for ME!"
The duck listened carefully as "me" was shouted back
The duck was kind of startled and let out a mighty "Quack!"
But silence filled the cavern as the duck waddled all around
And no matter what he called there was no duck-like sound
"I'm sorry," said the goose at last, "Now I see it's clear"
"There really is no one for you, no one to hold you dear"
With that he bid the duck farewell, and left him there to cry
Oh the poor forlorn duck how he did wish to die.
Karma found the goose you see the hunter shot him dead
The duck found some water and to more he was lead
Now he lives in a lake and has himself some friends
Though our duck does live on, here his Ballad ends.

The Puppy*+
DEDICATED: unknown alias2The puppy once had bright eyes
and a seemingly perpetual wag
that was until it found the lies
and its ears began to sag.
Spending its days shirking from man
no trust left, just wanting
finding whoever it can
its past still there and haunting.
Kicked, beaten and abused
left neglected and cold
the puppy began to feel used
and sought comfort in the old.
The old knew what they wanted
and for a time the puppy fit
but the old past that haunted
waited until the puppy's face was lit.
Struck down and put out
the puppy looked for protection
each outstretched hand brought doubt
and an increased fear of rejection.
But
One day the puppy met another
who felt the same way too
closer they moved towards the other
and slowly their old pasts withdrew.
Now the puppy has a perpetual wag
its bright eyes back just like the other
and their ears will no longer sag
as long as they have each other.
